Default Suggestions for a 14yr old rock fan pleeeease

Well, I'm a Spanish 15yr old and I want to listen to some stuff. Feel free to suggest anything. Also, sorry if my English isn't the best one. These are the bands/artists I usually listen to, I'd also like to know which of these do you like/dislike, just wanna meet people who love music! I've changed the list, so it goes like this (in a random order):
The Beatles
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
Bee Gees (underrated by critics most of the time, unfortunately)
Queen
Cream
The Who
Eagles
Deep Purple
Electric Light Orchestra (Eldorado is such an amazing masterpiece)
ABBA
Neil Young (solo and with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)
Elton John
Billy Joel
The Rolling Stones (okeeeeeyyy, I'll admit it they were a great great band)
Janis Joplin
The Kinks
Jeff Beck
Alan Parsons' Project
Supertramp
Genesis
Camel
Steely Dan
The Beach Boys
Sting (solo and with The Police)
The Doors
Cliff Richard
King Crimson
Soft Machine
Eric Clapton solo
Blind Faith
Kate Bush (can't believe I had never heard anything from her since I first googled Wuthering Heights about 3 months ago)
Rainbow
The Zombies
Barbra Streisand (she's a great singer and actress, c'mon, I always sing her songs when I'm home alone lol)
Donovan
Bert Jansch (this guy is amazing, seriously)
The Left Banke (Ok, they've only got one album but it's great, oh, and the singer was Spanish)
13th Floor Elevators (^see above)
Love (^see above, with the difference that Da Capo is a good album too)
Rod Stewart
David Bowie
Van Morrison
Traffic
Stevie Wonder
The Moody Blues
The Allman Brothers Band
Carole King (one of the best female songwriters along with Kate Bush, but they both have such different styles, I prefer Carole King, though)
Camel
Aretha Franklin
Emeron, Lake & Palmer
James Brown
B B King
Gary Moore
Jethro Tull
Neil Diamond
Yes
Santana
Moby Grape
CCR
Jefferson Airplane
Paul Rodgers (with Free & Bad Co.)
J J Cale
Fairport Convention
Velvet Underground (Femme Fatale is a masterpiece and the album it was included in is also great, period)
Joni Mitchell
Jimi Hendrix
Simon & Garfunkel
I'm sure I'm missing tons of artists I like, at this moment this would be my top list

It's never too early to have your mind blown. Unless it's before 10am.

Also, the Velvet Underground are not on your list so in case you're not familiar with them:

edit: Charles stealing my rec like a ninja
Thank you very much, The Batlord and Marie Monday, I've already listened to The Velvet Underground & Nico, and I've written what do I think about it.

I found a link to the first Hendrix album on vimeo: https://vimeo.com/344024764
but I recommend using spotify
Yes, Odessey and Oracle is exactly what I'm going to listen to next, don't know The Zombies very well, but "She's Not There" is one of the best songs from the 60s imo, it's even on my daily playlist! And thank you very much for sending the "Are You Experienced" link, I can finally listen to a whole Jimi Hendrix album, this is gonna be the happiest day of my life lol

I've liked it, I didn't understand it very well, but hey, there's still a lot of time, but it's good that I'm already familiar to it.
I know that this doesn't have much to do with the topic but:
I didn't like Stairway To Heaven at first, it sounded really boring to my ears. And I tried many times, but I couldn't really enjoy listening to it although I knew it was a good song, a great composition and there was a great work behind it. So I sort of stopped listening to it, but I came back after. And I loved it, I think I never enjoyed listening to a song so much. It was like listening to it for the very first time. I don't know if you like Stairway or not, maybe you think that it's an overrated piece of garbage like many people do, but what I mean is that there's still a lot of time for me to discover new things and change my opinion 'bout music I didn't get before. I used to think I was never going to like The Wall, but here I am listening to it almost everyday while doing homework!
I think Hawk makes some really good points about the Velvet Underground and I also think what you're saying here makes a lot of sense.
Even if you don't really get it yet, it's nice to have heard some of those classics like VU already because it makes you familiar with the bigger picture of music. Don't worry about when you'll get into it (don't try to make homework of it lol) but exactly like you sais, just come back to it when you feel like it after having heard lots of things in the meantime, and odds are you'll love it!

I'm glad the link works! She's Not There is an amazing song. Odessey and Oracle sounds a little bit different: it's more psychedelic. It's not very experimental though, at least not like the Velvet Underground, and it has the most gorgeous melodies.

If you want something that you're likely to love because it's familiar to what you already like, I'd say the Byrds. But I also think going kind of with the order of recs and doing the Monks next could be nice. It depends on whether you want something familiar or new next, you might want to alternate between those two.

Just to know, is Odessey and Oracle's style similar to another album(s) from musicians that have been mentioned in this thread?
The Byrds are cool: Mr Tambourine Man, Turn!, Turn!, Turn!, and...oh wait I don't know anything else from them, so that's a good recommendation.
