Subject: Icehouse poll

Written By: FussBudgetVanPelt on 05/28/04 at 7:42 am

One of my favourite groups

I chose "Great Southern Land" but could have chosen many  :)

TOUGH choice ! :P

I'll go with 'Hey Little Girl' with 'Great Southern Land' and 'Love In Motion' tying for equal second.

I went with 'Hey little girl' because that's the only one I know - I don't really like that one much.  :-\\

Other - "Electric Blue"

That tune brings many especially fond memories.

Other: 'Electric Blue' with 'Hey Little Girl' (the UK hit!) following close behind...

Sure I've read this somewheres...Does their name derive from Aussie slang for a 'nuthouse'?

News to me too !!  I just pulled out my Icehouse file that dates back to late 70's and no where does Iva mention that !!

I cant choose in the poll - I luv them all.

NO PROMISES
I love that New Romantic sound, with those Bowie-style vocals!
Hey Little Girl is a great song, too.

I can see how it might be, but I have never heard it.  I think you have been the victims of "urban myth"  :)

Definitely Crazy! Did you know their original name was Flowers? That info won me some CDs off an 80s retro radio website!  8)

Yep !  Is true

I have Flowers' debut album called......"ICEHOUSE"  ;D  Which contains a fantastic song called :  wait for it....: "ICEHOUSE"

Seems some common sense came to them quite quickly in regard to their name  :)

  ...didn't they have to change their name cause there  was allready a group called floweres at the time.

Which is why I asked...(with some reference books, you can't be certain...) - 'urban myth' or not, it still sounds a great way to get a name...!

It certainly does sound like a great way to get a name, Paul.  :)

Going off topic, is that how 'Soft Cell' got their group name?

I love the song Electric Blue.

That would be my pick too...but it's not on the list. :-\\ :-[

Written By: 80smuzikhead on 05/13/05 at 2:28 am

My choice: "Baby, You're So Strange"with "We Can Get Together" close 2nd. I used to love "Electric Blue" but I rehearsed it so many times with my 1st rock band that all of us came to hate it. I still remember the keyboard solo, including all the button pushes on my old SY22. :D
Reguarding the band's name, I recall an interview with Iva Davies in which that very topic was discussed. I can't quite recall what he said, but the "Icehouse" was a creepy place of some sort, that he used to walk past as a kid.

I picked "Love in Motion" because it's one of my all time favourite songs.  But tossed up between that, Great Southern Land and .. one not on the list .. Sister, Sister .. just love that!
