A place where nobody dares to go

I can't find any Australian artists for W (or X, obviously), so here's the only U.S. top 40 hit starting with the letter "X" -- a 1980 collaboration between ELO and Lady Olivia, AO, OBE.



This youtube video has been viewed more than three million times, probably because it's the second most awesome video in the history of the internet, with the most awesome is this 1978 medley of "Help Me Rhonda" and "Barbara Ann" by Olivia, Andy Gibb, and ABBA.



This could've only been improved if Andy had invited his brothers. Olivia + ABBA + Bee Gees = total awesomeness to the nth power!

There was an Australian band called "X" that formed around the same time as the L.A. band ( so neither band could claim ownership of the name), but I don't have any songs by them or knowledge of them..
