DAAS Icon (also known as Icon) is the first studio album recorded and released by Australian comedy trio, the Doug Anthony All Stars. Released in 1990,[1] 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,[2] but was banned in the UK due to a reference to the IRA in the song "KRSNA".[3] This was later overturned by a British court.[4]
