Yamaha CS80

Ok, I've been reading enough end-of-year lists, so it's our turn. 
Please list your favorite and least favorite track that feature the CS80.

I'll start.
Favorite - Eddie Jobson - Zinc/The Green Album. Pretty much the whole
album, but for one track Resident (mp3 in Files section of our group).
Runner up - Eddie Jobson - UK / UK.  Also pretty much whole album.
Standouts include Alaska, Presto Vivace/Reprise, and Nevermore

Worst - I was going to say - Paul McCartney - A Wonderful Christmas
Time, but I just read that's it's probably a Prophet 5. I thought
Linda "Played" a CS80 around that time. I guess there are no bad CS80
tunes.

McCartney was playing a CS-80 in the film clip for "Coming Up", and it wasn't the greatest 
CS-80 solo I have ever heard....

Thanks for the pointer. Take a look here: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO6w9T1YzgE.  What happened to Sir Paul's 
brain after the Beatles split? Linda must have put something in his corn 
flakes :^) 

Another list idea - youtube (and other similar) video links that feature 
CS80! Best if it's a CS80 being played in the video and you're actually 
hearing a CS80.

Here's a few:
J Geils Band "Love Stinks" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GluCM_ggMvw  
(even uses aftertouch and ribbon!)
Toto "Rosanna" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq4ychrRkQA
Toto "Africa" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPT_3PEjnsE (Well, you 
hear the CS80, but see and hear GS1)
Jethro Tull "Black Sunday" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MfT2hUISSQ 
& http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lR8mJlcZKAg  - Eddie Jobson
BBC - "Doctor Who Theme" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRYQEmwPJjQ - 
CS80 & Arp Odyssey

ELP "Fanfare for the Common Man" - 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OLWgrr671g - GX-1 (and lonely Moog 
modular) lip-synced, but every note correct
ELP "Pirates" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJlpOQf4rYA - also GX-1, 
but missing intro
