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

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.

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.

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?

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

Gracesnan, Reggie Bosanquet was alright, but not a patch on Huw Thomas! I had it all planned out that when I was 20 I was going to go to London, meet him and marry him, but then when I was 19 he married someone else, I was heartbroken.
Here`s the gorgeous man!

David Cassidy was my heartthrob - and I listened to Radio Caroline on a transistor radio. Heady times … ?

None at all, Pop music was something I listened to, but I was indifferent to the performers.

Grandmadinosaur Sun 25-Jul-21 20:21:54

Donny Osmond and David Essex adorned my walls.

As a young teenager is was Brian Hyland, Fabian and Kookie - then years later, on the day I got married, I gave my precious Steve McQueen poster to my bridesmaid.

Geek that I was! A poster of Beethoven and one of a map of London 1580 (I am not a Londoner but I am keen on the Tudor period? ?

Not keen on singers but had James Drury (TV programme The Virginian) and Pete Duel (TV programme Alias Smith and Jones)

Oh yes I loved Pete Duel. When he died I put a black ribbon next to his pictures… ?
Also David Cassidy and David Essex ❤️

I wasn`t allowed posters, but I had a large framed photo of Huw Thomas, the ITN newscaster, I had quite a thing for him over several years.

Marc Bolan, David Essex.

Gwenisgreat1 Sun 25-Jul-21 11:22:52

They hadn't invented posters when I was in my teens!! Would probably have been Tommy Steele or Elvis Presley if I could have afforded one!
