IceHouse, why aren't they respected?

[Ron Jeremy]

One of the most talented groups ever to come from our country ever, yet people talk about sh*thouse groups like Chisel, Frenzal romb etc

Here are some of their most well known songs:

We can get together

They are some of their hits, they made it overseas unlike other crap Aussie bands, yet why aren't people influenced by Iva? yet everyone is influenced by cokhead Garret? yet he had a sh*thouse voice!

I loved those guys. Great band.

 

[carcharias]

we can get together and the walls were great songs...when they were called the flowers I think.

After that that sucked real hard.
the harder Iva's mullets sucked the harder their music sucked.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

really? but even people overseas rated them unlike crap bands like Chiesel?

They had more talent in their music then bands in this country.

 

[Pierced Soul]

dont know why they werent rated but they were a good band and had some great stuff

 

[Eelementary]

That's been my biggest beef with Australians for some time - awesome artists like Icehouse and AC/DC get no respect, and yet Cold Chisel (who I'd never ever heard of prior to returning to Australia) are the greatest band ever.

 

[Once Dead]

I'm pretty sure that I read in a music text book back in the day that they were big in Canada!

 

[Eelementary]

Chisel or Icehouse?

 

[OVP]

wtf why are there 6 replies ffs ?

 

[OVP]

wtf ?

 

[OVP]

Um i dont know what happened fellas ... but sheesh ... i had no part of all these replies ?????

 

[OVP]

You mods who deleted the billions of replies also deleted my only reply to this thread heheh. Seriously, you can delete the thre above this no problems hehe

Anyway, i think i said i loved Icehouse/Flowers because Iva Davies went to my school, Waverley College and was expelled for doing a silly song about our deputy headmaster. So Ive always kept a close eye on them, but this is definitely my favourite song of theirs ... Nothing too serious (i very much doubt this is the actual clip, but thats all i could find )

Still a truly GREAT song Crank it up LOUD.

 

[OVP]

Btw, here's some bogan on youtube trying to play the piano like Iva ... FFS dude Iva was classically trained at the NSW Philharmonic ... you've got buckleys ... but still well done anyway ... tis hard to play piano like that, good on you for trying

[OVP]

Btw, if anyone knows anything at all about them, the Flowers Album, called Icehouse is and forever is still their best ... Icehouse the song is so f**king cool, plus fatman, walls, etc etc.

Why wont anyone post the Fatman song on youtube ? This is one of their all time best. You'll have to look for it on your own personal mp3 leecher

Really hey:lol: I remember at the milienium play at Darling Harbour, Iva looks better now then he did back in the 80's lol

 

[Phillips]

Icehouse were good, no where near as good as Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil.. and too a lessor extent Australian Crawl

AC/DC sucked arse without Bon Scott

 

[chileman]

Loved Icehouse and still enjoy putting on an old CD or cassette of theirs, I saw them live at Shellharbour workers many moons ago and although Iva's voice was a bit of a shocker on the night, they still rocked!
