If you mean albums and singles then Stiff Little Fingers & The Clash although not 100% on The Clash... I may have missed some later singles (need to check).
If it’s owning every track they’ve ever released in some format other than streaming then there are many more
Neil Young, including Buffalo Springfield, CSNY.
Tool, Sabbath , Clutch , Rush , Mastodon , The Fall , UFO, Thin Lizzy, Killing Joke , Peter Gabriel, Van Morrison , Deftones , Machine Head , Sepultura , Alice In Chains

That reminds me - time for some new headphones.
Man are my favourite artist, the old Welsh rock band. I have 5 or 6 copies some of their albums, different pressings from the UK, US, Germany, France, Italy, even Australia and Canada etc. Strangely they all sound the same! I also have everything by 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant, Cocteau Twins, Super Furry Animals and Manics. And various Man related bands like Neutrons, Ancient Grease, Help Yourself and Nektar.
Reading this I think I am slightly OCD.
I think a lot of it is Japanese, European and American stuff. There'll be 4 or 5 editions of one single. I actually have to go in and delete some of it. Here's an example of just one song.

I think I had every Stranglers single and album up to a point. Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Cocteau Twins too. There are several bands who I have owned every album they made. But since iTunes, Spotify etc. I don't even have physical copies of many bands albums anymore. I have the first 4 Echo and the Bunnymen records. That's about as close as I get these days.
My wife knows a guy who is a crazy collector. I think he has fifty first edition vinyl copies of The Velvet Underground and Nico. I have several friends who are record collectors but not at that level. I'll buy records from time-to-time, but it's expensive and time consuming. A guy I know was doing a pop-up record store from time-to-time and I found myself spending way too much money on records I wasn't desperate for just to "support the scene". Fortunately, he hasn't done one in while.
