OBSCURED BY CLOUDS (LP) - 'Burning Bridges', 'The Gold It's In The...', 'Wots...Uh The Deal', 'Mudmen': Man, I love Pink Floyd!
ATOM HEART MOTHER (LP) - Don't really care for the main track. I like the other side better.
MORE (LP) - great "small" stuff on this one. 'Green is the colour'. 'Cymbaline'.
MEDDLE (LP/CD) - I'm probably the only one on this planet who thinks 'Echoes' is one of the "lesser" tracks on this overall good album. The CD sounds very good too.
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON (LP/SACD) - A classic with a unbelievable great opener, the effects build up, bang, the groove, the lap steel guitar, it's like stepping into another dimension.
WISH YOU WERE HERE (LP) - The first part is Gilmour at his best and the album should be released on SACD because of him and the magnificent sound of whole recording. Other great tracks: 'Welcome to the Machine' (acousting gtr and synth part!) and 'Wish You Were Here'.
ANIMALS (LP) - Love it from start to finish. Recording-wise, I can't believe how good this album sounds each time I listen to it.
THE WALL (LP/CD) - Loved it like crazy as a teenager. Love it a bit less now. I mostly still like it because Gilmour is my favorite guitarist and songs like 'Comfortably Numb, 'Hey You' are fantastic. But the theatrical/musical feel bothers me sometimes. But damn ...that Gilmour!
THE FINAL CUT (LP) - Again, loved it as a teenager. But now I don't think it's as good as their 70s work. The guitar on the other hand is freaking unbelievable!
I stopped buying Pink Floyd after THE FINAL CUT. I've heard the others without Waters, I don't need them.

i like a lot of the 'popular' tunes. Never listened to a whole album. had the 2 disc 'greatest hits' but some of the material didn't vibe well with me.
Dark Side of the Moon is probably my favorite album from them but I love some of the songs from wish you were here and the wall.

I'm also a PINK FLOYD completist. Last night I purchased P•U•L•S•E.
Oh, it's wonderful and so powerful. Possibly the greatest show I've seen on my HT. I must admit that Water's IN THE FLASH is just a shadow of the band, although I love it.
Yeah, PULSE is a cool set that took forever to be released on DVD! I was actually at this concert myself back in 1994 (not the one on the DVD, but the Oslo version with the same program). I'll never forget it, and it will probably also be the last Pink Floyd concert ever. The Live 8 reunion thing a few years ago was just a one-off event, after all.
The Waters solo concert DVD IN THE FLESH (not FLASH!) is also pretty cool, but as you say, some of the iconic Waters/Gilmour songs somehow don't sound right without both of them. "Comfortably Numb" is a great example. By the way, the same is true for Gilmour's solo concert DVD's.
Happy to know another PF completist!

I noticed now.. it's a 5-year-old thread.
Yes, you're right... IN THE FLESH.
Confortably Numb isn't my favourite PF song, however the PULSE presentation of it made me cry. Really touching show... too bad the Waters' version has a lack of musical "tridimensionality".
BTW I was a little shocked when you mentioned yourself as a 'completist'...
