Liable for just a bit of bias on a Tolkien board?

Seriously though, as far as I'm concerned C.S. Lewis (in terms of being an author, not as a friend) isn't worthy to kiss Tolkien's feet-no author is. I'm not belittling Lewis' works in any way, they are brilliant in their own right and not some sub-genre of Tolkien unlike many high fantasy books published today (obviously being published before LOTR helps). I have fond childhood memories of Lewis' books and still hold them in high regard now, but did Lewis ever even approach the depth of Tolkien's works? I think not.
"Radagast is, of course, a worthy wizard, a master of shapes and changes of hue, and he has much lore of herbs and beasts, and birds are especially his friends."-Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings.

Tolkien tramples over Lewis, Gangnam style.

Fair enough distinction, but hard to tell for sure without an example.
