If Excalibur and Stormbringer are not included, this list is void.

The Sword of Shannara, and/or perhaps the Sword of Leah -- love him or hate him, I reckon Terry Brooks has had a greater impact on fantasy than Thundercats.

How can you take his list seriously. On top his top ten Flattop list he lists Herman Munster instead Frankenstein's monster.

Missing: Excalibur, Stormbringer, Durandal (Roland's Sword),
Gram (Siegfried's Sword) - and probably some more Swords from northern legend
Which more or less formed our image of "magic swords".

Stormbringer missing, is the greater fail, it being the sword with the iconic personality. Just don't think someone knows his swords.

I think he's limiting himself to swords with fixed images that we have seen in media - we all agree what they look like.

Excalibur and Stormbringer have not had highly popular visual media representations, so he cannot draw such representations for us.
