Yes. Next question?
(I also would like to hear more Kinks but they cannot begin to approach the Stones' catalog

I didn't know Mott the Hoople recorded 18 songs
Velvets no comment?

Fanny the what
Mitch Ryder also has been noted as missing but no one's been convincing enough.

This is not a classic rock station. Since every act you mention is from 60 years ago, I feel justified in telling you to listen without prejudice for about 3 months before you take up this quest again. There's a lot of new stuff I'd never hear if there were an algorithm involved, and that is priceless. I only hear a few dozen songs per day. Do I want them all to be new and unheard things? No. Do I want them all to be musty old shit from 1968? GOD no. I love listening to my own "Favorites" playlist sometimes but that will never have anything new and inspiring.

Edit: Fanny. Not sure but I think I've seen this before
HOWEVER, the Millington Sisters are not the Millington Band, and I thank you for making me see this:

Sure, but I thought they might be interested in what listeners think about  their repertoire - and yes, that's also meant to be a kind of wishing list ...

For one artist he mentioned - Neil Young - there are quite a few Neil Young (solo) songs on the playlist; it's odd that the search result shows none.

I agree that one of the advantages of hearing Radio instead of CDs or Playlists is that you are often surprised with Songs or even artist you never heard of before. But sometimes you like to hear something of your favorites - well, at least i do. And that is, when RP is somewhat disappointing. Searching die “Music Search” the results are somewhat puzzling. Starting with my most favorite:

- Only Bob Dylan has with 111 Results a (well, about) adequate ranking

- The Who = only 39 results
- The Kinks = only 32
- While The Rolling Stones have 117: Do you think the Stones are twice as relevant as Kinks and Who together ;-)

And it’s getting worse:

- David Bowie = 52 results, compare that to e.g. U2 = 89 and Yes = 104

- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young = well guess you have to add the results for the different compilations of these guys - but doesn’t seem to be too much. No results for Neil Young alone - a musician Rolling Stone Magazine ranked 34. in its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time?

- Mott the Hoople = I was surprised to hear them today, thank you! But with only 18 overall ... ?

Guess I give up ...
