Which posters did you have on your wall in your teens

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.

David Cassidy and George Best

David Cassidy during the teenybopper stage but when I went to uni a few years later I had a floor to ceiling poster of Paul Newman ( bought from the Athena shop) who I thought was just beautiful. I had it on the wall facing my bed. Every morning I would wake up and see his piercing blue eyes…

I loved Roxy music, but never fancied Bryan Ferry.

Me too. I could watch him perform either with or without Roxy Music all day, but I never fancied him. Something rather creepy about him, but I still loved the songs and watching him sing them.

2 large posters - one of Cat Stevens and one of Che Guevara (not because I was political, but because he looked very dishy!). Lots of smaller pics (taken from my bible during my teenage years - "Jackie") mostly of the Small Faces and The Beatles.

We're going to see Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music in October. ?

Me too, I’m looking forward to it!

Goodness me, do I feel ancient! I'm even pre Beatles! I loved Tonmy Steele and Cliff Richards, but my all time favourite singer was Frankie Vaughan. And before that my posters were of Dirk Bogarde and Kenneth More. "Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end" - to quote Marianne Faithful.

It wasn’t a poster exactly, but a life size cut out of Tommy Steele that I had begged from our local record shop. (My grandmother was also a massive Tommy Steele fan, much to my Grandfather’s amusement, and this continued into her 90s).

I agree Casdon still gorgeous and sexy

Bryan Ferry. Gorgeous then, still gorgeous now. I had the cover of Another Time, Another Place Blu-tacked to my wall.

William Blake's "Ancient of Days" and Baloo the bear from the Jungle Book.

Donny Osmond in that dark red velvet peaked cap

Beatles! A whole wall.of them, with George in top place. We had a shabby (but clean) home (no money!) so it was fine for me to cover the walls in pictures. Another wall was just nice pictures of anything taken from any magazines; often donated by friends.

That was mine. I loved Aubrey Beardsley.

I loved Aubrey Beardsley too, but found his drawings rather sinister. I think I’d have had nightmares with them on my walls.
