ummm... not sure if this is the kind of thing you were asking for, or indeed how much of this is strictly "Unsung", but to summarise my collection...

near complete of:

David Bowie (minus the 80s)
The Beatles (everything)
John Lennon (still a couple of holes to fill)
Björk (everything, i think)
Prince (til about '94)
The The (everything)
Patti Smith (except last album - not got round to it yet)
David Byrne (everything)
Talking Heads (everything)
Syd Barrett (all the official cd releases)
Brian Eno (everything practical)
Nick Cave (missing a couple of albums - loaned out but never returned)
The Cure (probably missed a late release or two)
Dreadzone (everything)
Beck (still haven't got the recent one)
World Party (everything; though my copy of Private Revolution seems to have disappeared)
Radiohead (think i could be missing an early album)
Jane's Addiction / Perry Farrell (everything)
REM (missing some early stuff)
Spiritualized (everything)
Bob Geldof / Boomtown Rats (everything)
Woob / Journeyman (everything)

also featuring heavily:

Legendary Pink Dots (they put out too much to get completist about it; have maybe 10-12 albums and there's plenty more where they came from)
Ozric Tentacles (a few)
Julian Cope (most)
Joy Division (probably have everything on various compilations)
Tim Buckley (ditto)
Bob Dylan (and again)
The Smiths (missing a couple of essential albums - never updated from cassette)
Atari Teenage Riot (3 albums)
U2 (most)
Simon & Garfunkel (two fairly comprehensive "best of" collections which don't cross over too much, means i have most of what i need)
Nurse With Wound (4 albums)
Siouxsie & The Banshees (most + Creatures stuff too)
Wu-Tang Clan (3 albums)
Ministry (most)
The Beach Boys (compilations, bootlegs and pet sounds)
Bob Marley (a smattering)
Tricky (most)
Lou Reed (most)
Christy Moore (a smattering)
Michael Franti / Spearhead (most)

oh, and lots lots more besides... Miles Davis and Gil Evans provide forays into jazz; plenty of traditional Unsung fodder in the form of Can, Faust, early Floyd, Hawkwind, et al. Also revealed is an unsettling weakness for Billy Joel, a fondness for ambient music compilations, and a passion for Brazillian music (particularly anything with a samba beat).

Sorry for waffling... just got caught up in the sad pleasure of list-making (and have doubtlessly left plenty out, but will resist the urge to add addenda)
