I can't say I love SF as a broad church, but I do enjoy certain authors who wrote predominately SF. Past tense. They are all dead.
So, my very short list. Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert, John Wyndham and Douglas Adams. And once upon a time Edgar Rice Burroughs and E. E. Doc. Smith. Some others to a degree, but just selected novels and short stories, not their entire output.
Fantasy not at all, with two exceptions. The first six Thomas Covenant books, and some Julian May stuff. I have owned Lord of the Rings for probably 40 years, have tried to start it a few times but cannot get psast about page 50.
