Interesting list and I enjoy stuff like this. Including Vanilla Fudge opens up the doors to Love and Moby Grape for me. I haven't heard much Grape personally but they seem to have influenced a lot of musicians.
Honorable mention for Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers? I love Peter Green and there was even a tribute concert a few days ago! Gilmour, Hammett, and Townshend played.
