COMMENTS
Officially, the group of order 1 is not considered to be simple; "a group <> 1 is simple if it has no normal subgroups other than G and 1" (See reference for Joseph J. Rotman's definition).
There is no prime term because there exists only one group of order p and this cyclic group Z/pZ is simple.
As a consequence of Feit-Thompson theorem, all odd composites are terms of this sequence.
The first composite even number that is not present in the data is 60 that is the order of simple alternating group Alt(5), the second one that is missing is 168 corresponding to simple Lie group PSL(3,2) [A031963].

EXAMPLE
There exist 5 (nonisomorphic) groups of order 8: Z/8Z, Z/2Z × Z/4Z, (Z/2Z)^3, D_4 and H_8; none of these 5 groups is simple, so 8 is a term.
There exist 13 (nonisomorphic) groups of order 60 (see A000001), 12 are not simple but the alternating group Alt(5) is simple, hence 60 is not a term.
