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

I was utterly besotted with Marc Bolan and I always found Ray Davies from the Kinks rather alluring. Men I found beautiful, although not necessarily crushes, were George Harrison, David Bowie and David Essex.

Urmstongran Iwas at college with one of the Zombies when they were just starting out

I think I likes Adam Faith in my teens

I think Adam Faith would have aged well ( those cheekbones!)

Actually Mike d’Abo hasn’t….

I was an avid Cliff Richard fan from being 14. I even walked the streets of North London to find his house and knock on his door!
Not so much of a fan now though.

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

Jimmy Page went from being a rock star to looking like a frog but now, in old age is looking quite good again.

Hmm, Steve Marriott from the Small Faces - gone but not forgotten. Roger Daltrey.

I suppose it would be remiss not to mention a Beatle - Paul McCartney for me - such a pretty boy - if he'd have played his cards right I could have been his.

Back in the day I always thought The Byrds were quite cool - but I'd struggle to remember all of them now.

I had a cousin who was truly into the music scene and actually married a reasonably successful musician - hence I'm able, if bribed, to recount adventures with Jimmy Page and Richie Blackmore, and even Hendrix. But my lips have been sealed for many years and probably will remain so

David Bowie lived a few doors down from my best friend and we often shared a train carriage with him on a Saturday night en route to the West End. Before he was famous. But I will forever remember his emerald green courdroy trousers and bright red suede desert boots.

And now I'm just an ageing old rat bag growing tomatoes and cucumbers and watching Gogglebox and drinking

Misadventure, Gary Glitter! What the heck!

Brian Jones was my crush. I had Rolling Stones pictures all over my bedroom wall.
One of just Brian on my wardrobe door. I used to kiss him when I went to bed.
The other was David Essex. Still is.

Marc Bolan, Gary Giltter, David Essex .

And Alan Clark of the Hollies, who doesn't.

Paul MacCartney, David Essex, Paul Jones.

They all still have it.

David cassidy
Saw him at White City Stadium in 1974,sadly a teenage fan got crushed against the fenceing in front of stage.
Affected David .
Saw him again in 2008 (i think) on stage at Wembley ,also performing were David Essex and the Osmonds.
Still play my vinyl david cassidy albums.

David Essex he still does it for me even now.

Oh yes. Those eyes! And Peter Gabriel looks better now than he did when he was young.

John Taylor from Duran Duran.

David Essex he still does it for me even now.

Paul McCartney.

Colin Blunstone ‘Say you Don’t Mind’. Was the lead singer before solo with the Zombies (don’t recall them). I loved his singing. Thought he was dishy back in the day. Just Googled him - he’s 78 now and looks very different …
