Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, Heinlein (although I have found Heinlein to be too misogynistic sometimes).
Ray Bradbury, Also Frederick Pohl, Zelazney. Pretty much anyone on this list:

Craig Schaefer - His Danial Faunst urban fantasy series is one of my favorites. Also a very prolific author who publishes about three books per year.
Benedict Jacka - The Alex Verus urban fantasy series is very enjoyable.
Michael J Sullivan - He writes several fantasy series though his science fiction novel Hollow World was excellent.
Peter Clines - His Ex-Heroes series is a fun mix of superheros and zombie apocalypse. Also 14 and The Fold are very good.
Dan Wells - His John Cleaver series is quite enjoyable. It centers around a teenager who hunts serial killers who are actual monsters. Hollow City is good though it's not really science fiction or fantasy.
Patrick Lee - His books are techno-thrillers. He's only written 5 books so far.
