DAAS Icon

DAAS Icon (also known as Icon) is the first and only studio album recorded and released by Australian comedy trio, the Doug Anthony All Stars. Released in 1990, it features the singles "I Want to Spill the Blood of a Hippy" and "Bottle". Icon went on to become the highest-selling independent album in Australia, but was banned in the UK due to a reference to the IRA in the song "KRSNA". This was later overturned by a British court.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1991, the album was nominated for Best New Talent and Best Comedy Release.

The tracks "Little Gospel Song" and "Change the Blades" previously appeared on their demo tape Let It Swing in 1988. The track "Shang-a-lang" samples part of the drum intro from the Beastie Boys' "She's Crafty".
