I've changed the list, so it goes like this (in a random order):

That's an excellent list, but such a long and varied one that it probably contains stuff you would love as well as stuff you would dislike intensely.
My personal choices from list would be:
Pink Floyd
ABBA
Elton John
Stevie Wonder
The Moody Blues
Supertramp
Genesis
The Beach Boys
Sting (solo and with The Police)
Donovan
Carole King
Jethro Tull
Yes
Joni Mitchell
Simon & Garfunkel
My second tier would be:
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin
Bee Gees (underrated by critics most of the time, unfortunately)
The Who
Eagles
Electric Light Orchestra (Eldorado is such an amazing masterpiece)
Crosby, Stills, Nash with or without Young, not so much Young solo)
The Kinks
Alan Parsons' Project
Neil Diamond
Santana
Paul Rodgers (with Free & Bad Co.)
Fairport Convention
Some of the others on the list I like, but only in a casual way.
If I had one piece of advice I would give to 15-year-old just starting out learning about popular music, it's this: be open to hearing other people's opinions/recommendations, but don't be afraid top follow your own gut instinct. Too often people of that age won't listen to something because it's not considered cool by their peers. If you happen to like KISS, great, but don't listen to them or buyh their records just because all your mates listen to them. Make up your own mind.
