i guess here is a list of stuff, it's mostly japanese as the japs don't seem to have embraced the mp3 the in quite the same way whitey has.
Shizuka
go hirano
astro
the stars (japanese the stars, not the other one)
jacks
government alpha
cccc
aube
DAF
front 242
test dept
controlled bleeding
mountain
pissed jeans
here are groups who i've heard bits and bobs by but have yet to properly investigate, but have been meaning to for ages:
coil
nurse with wound
throbbing gristle
james blood ulmer
pel mell
saccherine trust
slovenly
Universal Congress Of
Tar Babies
Meat Puppets
discharge
crass
conflict
Blind Idiot God
live skull
smegma
actually, that's quite a bit of stuff!

At the risk of coming across like a prick*, I can tell you now:
The Jacks are shite and you WILL be disappointed, especially if you're thinking Haino/ Denudes/ High Rise/ AMT, because they really are like the first Beatles album... it's genuinely very shit.
Aube is secondary to Merzbow... he's alright, but not really worth worrying about majorly.
DAF are well worth it, but take care to get the earlier stuff. They kind of dwindled after 2 or 3 albums.
Front 242/ Controlled Bleeding aren't really that important, if you're into Coil, TG, Whitehouse, NWW, you needn't bother with them. I would say the same about Death in June.
CCCC are just shit. Go for the incapicitants or Masonna.
Live Skull/ Smegma I never got, but you may.
I too should own more Coil, and my first investment if I ever get a job will be the TG24 set (I have nearly everything else apart from one of the recent live things and some unimportant boots/ compilations).
I can't stand Crass. They alright, my brother has a load of their albums, but I don't feel any great need to relieve him of them (unlike anything else that's good in his collection...).
Sermon over.
*Yeah, seriously, like I care...
