Lord of The Rings is one of the best selling novels of all times.
I think you should change to: Lord of the Rings vs Harry Potter

how bout HP VS Ice & Fire that would be kinda fair (i still like HP more) ... well at least more fair than lotr vs i&f
LoTR beats it no sweat at all if you add the silmarillion unfinished tails and all the rest than its like comparing a small almost ruined wooden cottage full of termites in the woods to versailles

Too early to judge as A song of Ice and Fire isn't finished yet, it has yet more books to be published. However, Lotr pretty much did define the genre "epic fantasy novel".
I like both of em, but it's still too early to judge. (I'm going by the books.. not the screenplay, mainly because Lotr became a trilogy of films, where as ASOIAF is a tv series.)
"too much incest", its only Cersei and so far there have only been two scenes in the whole series.

You make it sound like nudity is a bad thing in shows.

So far, there is no comparison. I have read both series and LotR is just on another level.
Reading the SOIAF books is very tiresome actually and I have serious problems with Martin's writing style. The storyline is advancing slowly, the characters have stopped growing since the 'Clash of Kings', there is no climax in any of the books and most importantly, he doesn't seem to have any desire to finish the series. Ever!

i love lord of the ring but honestly i better go with song of ice and fire in this one.
lord of the ring still has the cliche that the hero saved the day even if he is really outnumber or the plot will saves their asses.
in song of ice and fire, it doest give a danm about if you are a hero wanna be.
or if you wanna be the ultimate bad guy.
the book is about many people, there are not jut evil and good, and the good guy just because they are the good guy will screw the bad guys..
Lets call that song of ice and fire is more realistic in that aspect.

acc to me a song of ice and fire is for mature audience and i peersonally prefer it over lord of rings
LoTR defined the genre, it was the mother of all fantasy series, you have a genre name tolkienese after it [Wikipedia it]
yes it was cliche in the ending but even that had a twist to it which if you know the backstory makes a lot bigger impact.
yes song of ice and fire is awesome in terms of moral ambiguity and all but i still prefer LotR, narrowly.
try comparing it to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. that would be a better match up

wheels of time is another classic epic series but it gets kinda boring from book 6 and The POV characters storys like egwene nynaeve and elayne are pretty boring...O_O
