[Dioltach]

That said, you're right about kill-monsters-and-take-their-loot as not exactly being the Tolkein style.

Absolutely. Tolkien is much too classy to write a story about an old man telling a party to go on an adventure to kill the dragon and claim its gold.

 

[tglassy]

Or about a group that happens upon a group of trolls, kills them, find their treasure and uses the random magical items they found there for the rest of the adventure.

Like others have alluded to, for me the D&D influence is at least as much about the Hobbit as it is LotR. It maps almost perfectly to a D&D adventure, in contrast to other authors on this list have nothing that comes nearly as close.
