Same with Gong.
Great thread idea. I have often spoken about "complete" albums with my music chums. I personally think a complete album is a lot more than just an all-killer-no-filler long player. Aside from the songs, complete to me means the art work, the narrative and/or theme of the record, the vision, the circumstances of the record, the mood of the band at that time, and the build up to the record etc etc. Obviously a lot of these elements are not in the band's control so a band cannot fully engineer a complete album by themselves (in my humble opinion.)
So, albums which come to mind immediately and satisfy all this are The Suburbs by Arcade Fire, Metallica's Master of Puppets, and U2's Joshua Tree is without a shadow of a doubt arguably one of the most complete records there is.

Some great selections, but Combat Rock really, every track? I love the Clash especially the first album
All day long 3 Outstanding albums.
Digsy’s Diner? The one weak track on definitely maybe
I'm no muso, far from it, but these 2 did come to mind when thinking 'all the good ones will have gone by now'.

The Strokes - Is This It.

Agree with loads of those 70s rock things BUT i think you have missed Edgar Broughton by Edgar Broughton, After the Gold rush, Fragile Yes and Epic Forest, I was only going to add one but it's difficult to stop!
