I've read just about all of the Shannara books. I've never noticed the least bit of similarity to JRRT, especially once getting past the first three (Sword of, Elfstones of & Wishsong of). In fact I've read a very large number of Fantasy books and find very few similarities to JRRT. But, I don't go comparing one authors works to anothers in the first place, which it sounds like a great many people here are doing.
