The top two series (even above Fiest guys sorry, I love his stuff too) in sheer scope, complexity, detail, suspense...everything that makes fantasy great... are the Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin and the Wheel of Time series by Jordan. You need LOTS of time for either series though. They are huge books and reading them more than once isn't boring because there are so many little plot twists and hints. Other great stuff:
Steven Brust - Vlad the assasin series and the Khaveren Romances
Zelazny - Chronicles of Amber
Orson Scott card - Tales of Alvin Maker series and if ya like sci fi Ender's Game
If you like Cyberpunk (like the Matrix) try William Gibson's books, starting with Neuromancer
There are a lot more I could list but those are some of the best
