Whose poster did you have on your bedroom wall?
1966 (aged 15), mine was The Yardbirds.

A picture of George Harrison and a large poster of the last supper by Salvador Dali. They looked good against my purple walls, under which lay my bed with the legs removed!

Riverwalk half a century, surely I cant be that old.

David Cassidy and George Best. My walls were covered with them and I ruined the wallpaper with the pins. Fortunately my mother was a good sport and never got cross about anything.

The Beatles [George]... and the Merseybeats, who I met a few times.

I think the only posters I had were of David Cassidy and Donny Osmond (torn out of Diana), but my real heart throbs, not much later, were David Essex, Pilot, then Smokie.

The Kinks, The Fortunes and The Yardbirds, 1966 aged 15.

David Essex, David Cassidy, The Osmonds. Not proper posters .. pulled out from Jackie magazine.

Scott Walker as well for me. Saw the Walker Brothers live in 1965. Then you could stand right up against the stage. I was almost in front of him.

All my pictures came out of Jackie

M0nica, I was a classical music fan in my teens, too. Why on earth not? It was a big part of my life. It’s not age-related.

PaperMonster Sat 20-Feb-21 16:57:45

Adam & the Ants.

Poppyred Sat 20-Feb-21 16:50:33

Michael Landon, Van Morrison, Elvis, Steve Ellis of the Love Affair.

This is embarrassing. Marc Bolan.

Me too! I shared a room with my sister. She had Donny Osmond posters.

A whole wall of Beatles pictures - gathered from wherever I could get them. George was my very favourite. (We didn't have much money, but I was allowed to do what I liked with my bedroom walls, so I covered the dull & aging wallpaper. Another wall was simply a collage of assorted pictures I liked, cut from magazines.)

I'm with you TrendyNannie. They were like chalk and cheese.

Ellianne Sat 20-Feb-21 16:28:06

How did you all affix your posters? My mum had some very thin Swiss dressing making pins. I figured if they were good enough for her silks and taffeta they were good enough for the wallpaper. I could gently slide the pin into the paper with it hardly showing.
Blutak just leaves greasy marks on painted walls, and decorators curse it when they come to paint over it.

TrendyNannie6 Sat 20-Feb-21 16:27:11

It was always a who do you like best amongst my friends, David Cassidy or Donny Osmond. So for me David Cassidy won as I thought Donny Osmond was too Smooth ??

Firecracker123 Sat 20-Feb-21 16:26:23

I liked Herman's Hermits, The Walker Brothers especially Scott Walker I had a real crush about him.
I didn't have any posters only a tiny picture I cut out of the paper. I remember my Mum liked Gary Glitter she thought he was good looking lol, little did we know about him.

Dare I say it, I was a classical music fan, even in my teens. My best friend had a photographs of Yehudi Menuhin, the violinist on her wall.

I quite fancied Adam Faith, but not Cliff Richard, but never stuck up posters at any time.
