Not as many as I like. FO rmany bands I like them for ages but lose interest at the arse end of their careers so I don’t get the last album. For example, I don’t have “Munki” by The Jesus and Mary Chain, despite having all their other albums, sometimes more than once.

Joy Division
Mogwai

Pavement

Not dead certain, but pretty sure I’ve got everything from Gogol Bordello and Slim Cessna’s Auto Club. I’m in a bit of a musical slump at the moment, though.
Everything:
Beatles (including about a dozen bootlegs)
John Sebastian
Dan Hicks
David Lindley
Doors
Cheap Suit Serenaders
New Leviathan Oriental Foxtrot Orchestra
Simon & Garfunkel
Everything except for the later albums I would literally never listen to again:
ELP
Paul Simon
Almost Everything:
Bob Brozman
The Beatles. I (re) bought all their albums when they came out on iTunes a couple of years ago.
You have all one of them?
Yes, and he was so busy listening to it he didn’t have time to read the OP.
I’ll violate copyright laws if you want.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Genesis
Steely Dan
Close on:
King Crimson (hard to tell, since they put out so many alvums through their record club)
Frank Zappa (the Zappa Family Trust keeps releasing more albums)
CCR
Bread
David Gates (his solo albums)
Emmy Lou Harris
I have every Streetlight Manifesto album. In addition, I have every album of Cage the Elephant, though they only have two albums (and one single) out so it fails the test.
I also have every album by a very little known band called Pain (though most people of my generation who watched Cartoon Network are probably familiar with their song Jabberjaw Running Underwater which played in a short on CN).
Well, the obvious ones are
Van der Graaf Generator and
Peter Hammill
then
American Music Club and
Mark Eitzel
and then
Cyndi Lauper
Curved Air
John Doe (and maybe all of X)
Triffids
Small Faces
Grant-Lee Phillips (but missing at least one Grant Lee Buffalo)
David Thomas (but not Pere Ubu)
Bunny Wailer (I think)
Redbone (for some bizarre 70s reason)
and a bunch of others come close, like Yello…
Ummm. what band were you in?
Unless you were in Melbourne Australia between 1985-1995, you’re highly unlikely to have heard of anything I was involved in. Even if you were, you’re fairly unlikely to have heard of me. I’m on a bunch of releases, but no big sellers and nothing that “broke” here, let alone anywhere else.
