Inspired by another thread love songs it got me to thinking about posters I had on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager. I had David Cassidy and the Biba poster
Who did you have

Not a poster in sight in my room. Not sure I knew what they were and my Dad would have been furious in case I damaged his carefully decorated walls.

My DP would not have been best pleased if I'd stuck posters over the wallpaper either!
My father was a very careful decorator too, cornergran

I had lots of posters on the walls of my bedroom, but all I can remember now ( blush) was one of Jess Conrad, who I thought was wonderful at the time.No idea when that was though, around 1961/2?

Johnny Tillotson, I thought he was wonderful!

Paul Newman and Robert Redford from the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!

I had a small poster (from Fab 208 or Jackie) of The Hollies and Love Affair when I was a young teenager. Probably others but those stick in my mind. When I was in my early 20s (and married) I had a nice big poster of Bruce Springsteen near the bed because I really fancied him.

An almost life size cut out of Tommy Steele, begged from a local record shop!. I suspended it from a mirror, as I wasn’t allowed posters sruck on wallpaper either, but Mrs Jeeves the one I wish I had had was definitely that of Johnny Tillotson - Poetry in Motion/Princess were two of my absolute favourites.

George Michael covered my walls, whether on his own or with Wham. Maybe an odd Depeche Mode, Spandau Ballet or Duran Duran crept in.

I had posters of Leeds United football team! This was in the 1960s.

My Dad did me a complete wall of New Seekers pictures, pasted them on, overlapped some, I loved it.
Can't imagine 'not being allowed'

I didn't put things on the walls but had (and still have) scrapbooks with stuff culled from Jackie.

cupcake1 Tue 27-Jul-21 10:57:07

The Who, Beatles and David Essex- those eyes and that voice (swoon!)

Hellogirl1, Huw Thomas was ok, but just go on to YouTube and listen to Reginald singing “Dance with me”. You might change your mind!!!

grandtanteJE65 Tue 27-Jul-21 11:01:57

None. My parents would have had a fit if we had wanted to put up posters.

I don't think they objected to posters as such, but they certainly denounced drawing pin holes or even worse sellotape ruining the wallpaper!

Schoolgirl crushes on film stars or pop singers were redculed too.

mimismo Tue 27-Jul-21 11:07:47

David Cassidy and Jack Wild from the scrapbooks

None - my father would not allow damage to the walls

essjay Tue 27-Jul-21 11:16:36

david cassidy, steve mcqueen, marti from the new seekers, richard barnes(used to listen to him on radio luxemburg). my parents gave up decorating my room as there was always more posters than wallpaper!

mrsgreenfingers56 Tue 27-Jul-21 11:17:03

David Cassidy, as many as the walls could hold!

hf59 Tue 27-Jul-21 11:19:38

Me too for Roger Daltrey!

LullyDully Tue 27-Jul-21 11:30:44

George Harrison of course. Only on a glass dividing wall. Not allowed sellotape on the wallpaper of course.

Marc Bolan and T. Rex, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and a couple of humerous ones: one with the 3 wise monkeys and Tarzan - the 3 monkeys covering the usual places and Tarzan covering his crotch. The other one was of a toilet with 2 hands coming up out of it clutching the edge of the rim! Yes, I have a strange sense of humour ?
