David Cassidy was my first poster pinup, I used to tape all the songs off the TV when The Partridge Family was on. I hung a microphone over the TV and my whole family had to stay quiet! My brother often didn't oblige.
Then I moved onto Roger Taylor of Queen, the hair, his eyes mmm.

I've,already made clear how much I loathed cabbagey old school.

This appealed far more than sing something simple.

Oh Davy Jones all the way. I felt as though I knew him because he came from Manchester.

You are obviously all much younger than me and teenagers in the sixties whereas I was a teenager in the fifties. I had a full length poster of Elvis in my bedroom; there was a magazine - Valentine - that had parts of the poster each week. I also had posters of Ricky Nelson and The Everly Brothers on my bedroom wall.

I had a couple of big Toulouse Lautrec posters and my favourite painting in the world - Breughel's Hunters In The Snow.

David Essex! What a looker, and I still love the song.

geekesse Fri 12-Aug-22 21:15:25

Donny Osmond and George Best.

David Cassidy, Marc Bolan, David Essex as a teenager. Davy Jones pre-teen!

MissAdventure Fri 12-Aug-22 21:01:09

Marc Bolan, Alice Cooper, and sorry, but Gary Glitter.

Not that I was allowed posters in my room.
I had to put them up in the shed!

Grannyben Fri 12-Aug-22 21:00:55

David Essex (no need to explain why) and the Bay City Rollers which went with my tartan bedding and knickers

downtoearth Fri 12-Aug-22 21:00:33

Steve Ellis and Love Affair all the way

The stones.
