Teenage pop star crushes…( a very shallow thread…)

Bobby Darin

James Taylor

David Essex, Marc Bolan, Donnie Osmond, David Cassidy. I thought they were all gorgeous.

While I can't say that I had a crush on him, Marc Bolan was an incredibly attractive person - and ahead of his time when it came to music.

I thought Marc Bolan was gorgeous.

Also liked Chip Hawkes from The Tremeloes.

Lots of the pop stars back in the day were so skinny, they looked good in their tight trousers! (Thinking of the lead singer from Free). And their lovely long hair. Probably all on drugs.

If they are still with us, probably all fat and bald.

A young Cat Stevens.
Steve Marriott - a sad end.
Later Peter Starstedt.

Oh yes Georgesgran I agree with a young Cat Stevens - I had a huge poster of him on my bedroom wall. I also had lots of pics of the Small Faces and was saddened to hear of the untimely death of Steve Marriott. A young James Taylor was another crush, still love his music.

Marc Bolan was very pretty, I thought.
David Essex, another pretty boy.
Bryan Ferry was quite sexy, and still is, in my opinion.

Mine were David Cassidy , Marc Bolan and David Essex who I saw in Godspell on a school trip.

Paul Jones and Mike d’Abo (sp) have both aged well.

Oh Paul Jones
❤

Marc Bolan was very pretty, I thought.
David Essex, another pretty boy.
Bryan Ferry was quite sexy, and still is, in my opinion.

It really surprised me that Bryan Ferry came from very humble beginnings: seemed like borderline aristocracy. Always think Jerry Hall was mad to dump him for Mick Jagger. He’s aged very well. Don’t like him as a person, though.

George Harrison. My family still indulge me buying me tickets for George Harrison shows, the latest being The George Harrison Project which was fabulous.

Paul McCartney
The beautiful Scott Walker
Elvis, obviously!
And Fabian, the American singer and actor.

Tony Hicks from The Hollies, Dave Davies from The Kinks, Phil May from The Pretty Things. I could go on

Of course - Bryan Ferry.

Curly my DM always said that if she went to Heaven, she hoped God would look like Cat Stevens!

I used to love Alice Coopers music.

Tenko

Mine were David Cassidy , Marc Bolan and David Essex who I saw in Godspell on a school trip.

Tenko, I saw David Essex in Godspell too. I was 15 at the time. It was at the Wyndham Theatre if my memory serves me right?

Mine goes quite a way back. Does anyone remember Eden Kane, he was actually Peter Stardset's brother.
My sister liked Bobby Vee ( Rubber Ball). Another blast from the past.

David Cassidy. I was going to marry him. He was just beautiful.

Pete Duel from Alias Smith and Jones. Devastated when he died.

My sister was a huge fan of Gary Glitter. She went to his concerts, bought the LPs. Obviously nobody knew what he was about then. I loved his songs as well, and I still do as well.

How could I forget the gorgeous Bryan Ferry. I also loved Eden Kane.

Paul Simonon, The Clash bassist, and Pete Townshend from The Who.

Davy Jones from The Monkee's my first crush.
Saw him decades later at the Races, still a good looking man.

Davy Jones of the Monkees for me too -until I realised that I was already taller than him!

If we are talking true love and total adoration, it always was and always will be Paul McCartney, if we’re just talking lust, Andy Fairweather Lowe.

I had crushes on most of the aforementioned. Sadly I still have crushes on famous people and one I've thought gorgeous more recently (last 10 years) is Michael McDonald 😍 so much so that we've just spent £400 for tickets to go and watch him supporting The Eagles on their farewell tour.
