Who else was a fan of Icehouse in the '80s?

Their later releases got more attention. But "We Can Get Together" is the track I keep returning to most often all these years later. Still love it as much as I did back then.

I recall searching record stores for a 45 RPM record of this song, but couldn't find it anywhere. 

Just had to hope I'd see it show up on MTV... lol.

That's a great track too. Musically it's fantastic and memorable. But I also recall feeling a little spooked by the "little girl, where will you hide" theme at the time, so it didn't end up in my favorites list.

This is the song that sticks for me:

Cassette walkman! Yes, I had one of those too. Having a Sony Walkman was such a big deal at that time for me. I had a long bus ride to school every day, and music kept me sane. 

Did you have a favorite Icehouse track?

On permanent loop on my cassette walkman.  Long dreamy sunny summers, that it my ears, and big dreams in my head.
