Since we're in the age of Walking Dead I will have to say The Zombies. Otherwise, Yes.
Definitely an acquired taste. Saw Zappa a couple of times in concert. His guitar playing was phenomenal.
Good List. Counted 9 from your list that I saw in concert, and 1/4 of the Beatles (Harrison).
The xx, Timber Timbre, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phoenix, Coldplay, Dido, Lana Del Rey, Bastille, Imagine Dragons, Foster the People
I'm guessing that mine's pretty obvious.

...AC/DC, ZZ Top, Kiss, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith...newer bands...I'm a fan of Theory of a Deadman...
Big Head Todd & the Monsters (just give 'em a try)
Pink Floyd
Led Zepplin
Dire Straights
Pearl Jam (Eddie Vedder's voice just soothes me so)
Van Morrison (crazy drunk!)
Dave Matthews Band (prefer the pre-2001 stuff though)
And then on the other side of my brain I like:
Donna Summer
The BeeGees
Don't be hatin' - I grew up roller skating to Disco

Like you guys, I love all the great classic rock bands. Of the newer groups, I'm a fan of Green Day and The Killers. My favorite solo artists are Tom Waits and Chris Botti.
...I forgot to mention him and Tupac...like them both...
Imagine Dragons--I've seen them twice and their bass guitarist gave me his pick! He actually stepped off the stage, onto one of the speakers, leaned over the rail, and handed ti to me! I also love Foster the People--seen them once. My other favorites are Grouplove and Cage the Elephant and I'm seeing them both this week. I'm kind of a concert junkie; this will be my fifth this year...and trust me, if I had more money I'd go to many more.
For me it's a fluid situation. I had different favourite books, movies, songs etc 20 years ago, and expect to change my preferences somewhat over the coming 20 years - although perhaps to a lesser extent than I did from age 19 to 39. That said, there are a few bands/artists that have a permanent place on my top 10 list, for instance Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Cure, Elvis Presley and The Beatles. While I'm at it, let me add a couple of individual songs: I'm Gonna Be (500 miles) by The Proclaimers, and Fairytale of New York by The Pogues.
Lately I have discovered the wonderful Russian guitarist Igor Presnyakov, and Swedish singer Veronica Maggio, who despite singing only (?) in Swedish seems to have found an international audience.

Iggy Pres is just not fair. Watching his youtube channel makes me just look at my accoustic guitar and think "why bother?" His pirates of the caribbean is just ridiculous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z27N5wj3EUY
and his Sultans of swing:
Neesy
#1 fan (Annie Wilkes cousin) 1st cousin Mom's side
He is not my absolute favourite artist but I was a bit obsessed with him back in the 70s. Another great guitarist
