You're right about Clapton on P&CoHH - the intro to the song of that name is brilliant - especially considering what he was releasing under his own name in those days. Pros & Cons is just not as good as 'Radio KAOS' or 'Amused to Death'. I tend to think of 'Final Cut' as a Waters solo album as well, even though it's Floyd. The latest album is a bit weak, though.
The less said about 'Ca Ira' the better.

My main point about '87 is that it was one of the years I got to change myself. Happened again in the early 90s, when I left the UK for Hong Kong. In '87 it was about being independent; there's still something about that bed-sit year that I look back on with nostaligia.
