I think you should go for Hawkwind myself.

You know this place too well, KC takes half the votes. Hawkwind was the one that I had on my mind first, then contradictory ideas came popping in... so I came to MB

Over the next few months/years/however long, all of them will be found. Could be quite awesome.

I think Hawkwind's is about twice/three times the size of any of the others, definitely rewarding I say. Trust you to back Costello
I must have ADD because every 5 minutes I get a new idea and try change which of the bands... Hawkwind looks like the winner at this point though!

This is what I did to begin with by getting 1/2 albums from each, but the goal and accomplishment of having 1 artists whole selection of music is what will keep me motivated to do it and not go off on a tangent to download random stuff that I will probably never listen to in my life again. i.e. Radiohead discography (Least I didn't spend any time/money on it)

So you know my situation
Thank you. Im sure I will get somewhere down the line. The acoomplishment of all their music collection seems like a pretty awesome idea to me
