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

Yep, I knew he caught it in Southend Petra.
Ooh, he had lovely eyes!

Bryan Ferry .... oooohhh!

Ditto

Marc Bolan. He died near where I used to live 😢
David Cassidy - my teenager got their hair cut just like his a couple of years ago 🥰
Freddie Mercury - put off watching the Bohemian Rhapsody movie until recently as I didn’t want my memories trampled on.

Mine are all dead 🥺

Peter Frampton. He was quite beautiful as a young man and has aged well.

As a proper teen, Ian Dury and Bob Geldof were my poster boys.

MissA
Did you know the lovely Ian caught polio at the Westclff Lido.
Slow down itinerant child, classic 😂

Another one here who adored Alan Clark from the Hollies. I even smartened up whenever I watched Top of the Pops and knew he would be on. (Cringe…)

All my teenage crushes - Elvis, George Harrison, Davy Jones - are dead. But you could see Elvis wasn't ageing well.

I was at that concert too Northernsoulnanna. It was a terrible tragedy and I remember me and my friends being jealous because DC too flowers into the hospital for her and sat by her bedside!!! .

I still play my vinyls too, usually when Mr. S. is out.

First crush for me was Davy Jones, followed by David Cassidy, Donny Osmond, Michael Jackson and Mark Bolan but not necessarily in that order.

Frankie Vaughan.... 'Give me the moonlight.......'
Showing my (ancient) age now!

Davy Jones of the Monkees when I was about 8. Followed by David Cassidy. In my mid teens David Bowie and Bryan Ferry.

I also thought that David Sylvian (in the group Japan) was quite beautiful when he was in his 20's

Elvis then as i grew up Francis Rossi- still a lovely man!

Mike Sarne, John Leyton, Bobby Vee……

George Harrison for me every time. Sadly he was not able to age well or otherwise.

As a proper teen, Ian Dury and Bob Geldof were my poster boys.

Robert Plant, David Gilmour (hasn’t aged well) George Harrison, Bob Marley.

Calendargirl , oh how could you say that he was so cute. a bit later in, I had a big of a thing for Lou Reed, but it was always Paul.

Started off as a Cliff Richard fan (wasting my time there!!) but quickly moved on to Scott Walker (a much better bet in every way). Liked Alan Clark from the Hollies; I actually got his autograph -written in my purple eye pencil outside the hotel they were staying at behind the Liverpool Empire!! I wish I still had the autograph. Ray Davies and David Bowie-present and correct.
Teehee Ferry 23.......
"And now I'm just an ageing old rat bag growing tomatoes and cucumbers and watching Gogglebox and drinking wine"
there's a lot of it about........

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.

Oh, sorry to disagree, but always thought AFL was most unfanciable! His high pitched, squeaky sort of voice did nothing for me, although I liked ‘Bend Me, Shape Me’ as a song.

Good job we all have different tastes.

I don't have crushes now. Well apart from James Martin and Michael Bublé both of whom I've seen live over the last few years.

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.

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.

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

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

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