As a preteen /teen/what band, singer, tv , movie or sport stars did you have plastered on your

[debm55]

bedroom walls? I remember Bobby Sherman, David Cassiday, or anyone that was in Tiger Beat.

[Tree-Hugger]

1. David Bowie

And to a smaller degree - Brent Spiner.

[debm55]

3. Was that during his glamour rock years?

[Tree-Hugger]

12. I discovered him in the 80s

...but my walls were covered in posters and photos of him from all of his eras - 1960's and onward.

[debm55]

27. Great--Thank You. David went through many styles of music--I miss him.

[ProfessorGAC]

66. That's Mine!

Only posters I ever had up.
I had 3 but only had one at a time.
One was the cover of Aladdin Sane, another was Ziggy, & another was a Thin White Duke photo similar to the cover if David Live At The Tower.
No Sabbath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, ELP, Yes, or even Mott The Hoople.
Just Bowie.

[leftieNanner]

2. The Beach Boys - I was a card carrying member of the BB Fan Club

And David McCallum - loved Ilya Kuryakin. I had pictures of him all over my bulletin board.

On one of the NCIS episodes, one of the young guys (I think it was DiNozzo) asks Gibbs what Ducky used to look like when he was young. Response: "He looked like Ilya Kuryakin."

[debm55]

4. Oh yes, the Man from UNCLE. he was a looker.

[leftieNanner]

5. I liked him better than Robert Vaughn (appearance wise)

But recently I have learned that Mr. Vaughn was a serious Democrat.

[debm55]

16. Me too

[3catwoman3]

62. David McCallum/ Ilya Kuryakin - mmmmm!

No posters. I used to fantasize that I was his younger sister and was allowed to accompany him on missions.

[prodigitalson]

6. my mom hated it

[debm55]

28. But you loved it.-----

[Glamrock]

7. The Crue! 🤘🤘🤘

[debm55]

29. Glam, did you have your walls plastered or just this one, I had a feeling it was Motley Crue

[Glamrock]

30. Just the one poster. Mom wouldn't let me do the whole plaster thing.

Or else I would have! LOL!

[LakeArenal]

8. Of course the ubiquitous Beatles. But the even more handsome....

Dave Clark Five. Dreamy.

[debm55]

31. I remember them.Did you get from Tiger Beat magazine?

[LakeArenal]

49. Teen Beat. Tiger Beat.

You know I saved a briefcase of those magazines. Even with pages cut out to hang on the wall in 1964, they brought $100 at our auction in 2019.

[debm55]

50. I forgot about Teen Beat. I used to collect and return pop(soda) bottles to buy them.

[LakeArenal]

55. My mom bought us anything that promoted reading.

My brother got comic books. I got magazines and Nancy Drew Books.

There was also a book series called “ Louise and Jeanne Dana, The Dana Girls”

[Ponietz]

9. Roman Gabriel 1969 NFL MVP

Rams fan for life after that. First thing was to get my hair cut like his.

[debm55]

32. Did you use posters or Sports Illustrated pictures?

[Ponietz]

40. I had a big 1970 NFL calendar with his mug on it

[kimbutgar]

10. The Monkees

[questionseverything]

19. Me too!

[debm55]

33. I had some Monkees pics too.

[questionseverything]

72. I think I had most their albums and even now I remember most the lyrics

Daydream believer, last train to clarksville were some favorites 🙋‍♀️

[debm55]

75. Never had any albums. Just bought 45's. I liked Daydream Believer.

and watched the show.

[The Blue Flower]

11. Paul Newman

sigh...

[debm55]

34. OMG those eyes could pierce your heart.

[Ocelot II]

13. None of them; I was a classical music-loving snob even then.

I pretended to like the Beatles because my friends did, but I really didn't care much for them; I thought most popular music was boring and noisy. If Beethoven had been alive I might have had a poster of him on my wall. Some years later, in college, I started to enjoy the Rolling Stones and The Doors, but that might have had to do with the influence of a lot of weed.

[debm55]

35. You are our classical music expert, here in the Lounge. Rolling Stones, The Doors and The Allman

Brothers for me and some weed and hash

[consider_this]

47. I had a next door neighbor friend as a kid like you...

She would spin me something by Von Karajan or Johnny Cash, who she also loved, and I would bring Tommy Janes or Three dog night, whatever was poppin. We had good shares.

[Cartoonist]

14. And his friends

[debm55]

36. Did you like them because of your talent or was your talent influenced by them?

[Cartoonist]

59. I liked Marvel comics back then

My own talents were minor and in a different genre.

[Laffy Kat]

15. Mark Lindsay.

[debm55]

37. Did you like him with his group?

He was eye candy and always in Tiger Beat

[Laffy Kat]

56. I did like Paul Revere and the Raiders, but my love for Mark...

Could stand alone. I spent LOADS of allowance on "Tiger Beat" and "16". I would thumb through them first and only buy if there was something about ML. I had pin-ups and posters all over my room.

[Niagara]

17. Brace yourselves for some teenage hormonal musically inclined hotness...

A very young Johnny Depp. If you ever read this Johnny, I would have never ridiculed you for being a teenage heartthrob during your 21 Jump Street working years. Is both an actor and a musician.





Richard Grieco.An absolute dreamboat that obtains both acting and music capabilities.





Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue. That smile!





Stephen Pearcy of Ratt. He's still thin and still rocking out at the age of 67. That voice!




Sebastian Bach AKA Sebastian Bierk of Skid Row. Also appeared in Broadway productions. Lost his New Jersey house as a result of Hurricane Irene. His brother Zac Bierk is a retired ice hockey player. His father, David Bierk was a noted painter. Sebastian is also loudy and publicly Anti-tRump as you can see in the photo from October 2019.





Sebastian October 2019

[debm55]

38. OMG---be still my heart

[Coventina]

18. Duran Duran, U2, Go-Go's, REM, Echo & the Bunnymen, Madness, Love & Rockets, Eurythmics, B-52's,

I think that was just about all my wall space.

I was really into band posters.

Still am, if I'm honest.

[debm55]

39. When I got older, I would buy the posters, Young Deb got from tiger Beat.

[lastlib]

20. Farrah Fawcett

The famous swimsuit poster.

[debm55]

41. When I was at Penn State almost all the guys had that one on the wall.

Beautiful woman.

[Auggie]

69. Same here

[electric_blue68]

21. As a "teeny bopper"The Beatles, The Monkees. Some years later some photos I took of bands I had...

seen.

The Who, Springsteen & E St, The Patti Smith Group, U2

💖💖💖💖

[debm55]

42. I liked the Union Gap too. along with the Monkees.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Robert Redford and Paul Newman....then the Beatles.

[debm55]

43. Redford and Newman were so handsome back then. George to me was the handsome Beatle.

[marble falls]

23. Twiggy.

[debm55]

51. I had a Twiggy haircut when I was young. Now that I am 68 I got another Twiggy haircut.

[VGNonly]

24. Easy Rider

[debm55]

44. I thought Peter Fonda was so sexy.

[highplainsdem]

25. None. Loved rock music, always noticed the hotter guys, but was never into

posters.

Probably spent a bit more time than usual looking at photos of them in magazines and on album covers, though.

And I do still like videos of beautiful male rock stars...but I have to love their music, too. Music first.

[debm55]

45. Had some posters. After drive out west, I redid my college bedroom in Native American photographs,

and artwork.-pottery, rugs, etc.that I bought from a reservation out west.

[highplainsdem]

57. I have nothing against people liking posters - I just didn't want any

myself. Not even sure why.

The way you redid your college room sounds spectacular, with all that Native American decor.

I have a couple of small pieces of Native American pottery, one with a sand art finish, but they're not part of any organized decor. They're on a bookshelf with an assortment of other stuff including crystal and a conch shell. (The decor theme there would probably be Dust Magnets.)

[consider_this]

26. I wasn't allowed to do that, however...

I did manage to affix a Jim Morrison tribute poster (posthumous) to the back of my door, and they did not see it!

[debm55]

46. Sneaky, sneaky.

When Jim Morrison died we had a tribute wall to him at a friends basement family room.

[No Vested Interest]

48. Eddie Fisher - singer

"Anytime I'm feeling lonely
Anytime I'm feeling blue,
Anytime I feel downhearted,
That's the time I'll come back home to you"

[debm55]

52. Wasn't he married to Debbie Reynolds and carrie Fisher's day. Loved his voice.

[No Vested Interest]

53. That's the one!! Terrific voice as a young man.

Later his life not so great....

[debm55]

54. Later I lost respect for him when he left debbie and married Elizabeth Tayor.

[Solly Mack]

58. None

Wasn't my thing.

[Mad_Dem_X]

60. Rick Springfield and Duran Duran, to name just two.

I also loved Nadia Comaneci (Romanian gymnast), but I don't think I had any pictures of her on my walls.

[debm55]

61. Very good choices.

[Upthevibe]

63. debm55.......

I was never into the Bobby Sherman's or the teen beat guys.

I was into real rock and roll from the time I was six years old because I had a brother 10 years older, a sister eight years older, and another sister two years older. They were all totally into music! I was very, very lucky.

I had pictures of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Jim Morrison on my walls even a a child...

I actually remember when my musical tastes went in a different direction. One day I was listening to Peter and the Wolf with my mom. The next day I heard the song, Help, coming from my sister's bedroom and that was it! I remember being in complete awe asking her, "What's that?!?!"

They had every album imaginable and I listened to as many of them as possible. I remember spending weekends in my room reading and listening to music.

[debm55]

73. Thank you, upthevibe, The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Doors were in my later High School days.

Listened to alot of Motown in Junior High from my cousins collection.

[Trailrider1951]

64. I had the very popular 1960's poster of Bob Dylan

It came in one of his (vinyl) albums, but I forget which one. It was this:



I was a big fan of his. I still am.

[debm55]

74. Oh I love that! thank you, Trailrider.

[WestMichRad]

65. A late and dear friend had a poster of a young Pat Metheny

… on her refrigerator… the picture of him seen on the back cover of his album “New Chautauqua”. I think we were both in with him!

[malthaussen]

67. Snoopy.

I have a poster of him from 1968. It was in the paper. Still have it.

Other than that, the Beatles posters from the White album.

-- Mal

[debm55]

76. I had a couple of pictures of the Peanuts gang. Especially like Snoopy and Woodstock.

[Mr.Bill]

68. I had the four Beatles' pictures

that came with the White Album hanging on my bedroom wall for awhile. That kind of sucks because I still have the original album, but the pictures are long ago lost.

Funny story about rock band pictures. When we were about 12 0r 13 my friend and I were big Rolling Stone fans. We couldn't afford albums then, but we had a few 45s. We were sittinng around at his house listening to them on his birthday when his dad walked in and gave him a Stones album (Out of Our Heads) and said Happy Birthday. My friend said thanks and asked his dad how he knew he liked the Rolling Stones.

His dad said "I didn't know that. I just went to the record store and bought the album with the picture of the five ugliest queers on it." (this is how many parents felt about British rock bands in those days)

[debm55]

77. I liked Motown. I guess you know how my parents felt about that.

[Mr.Bill]

78. Oh, no! You bad girl.

[debm55]

79. Bad white girl "spending his hard earned money on Motown"--his words not mine and he didn't use

Motown. I liked it and I liked dancing to it.

[electric_blue68]

88. Here in NYC our AM music stations had the Beach Boys, Jan& Dean, The Beatles, Brits, and Motown

then the rise of FM Rock later

[debm55]

89. Loved the Temps, Stevie, the Supremes. Marvin. Father did not.

[electric_blue68]

90. My dad didn't like tock etc but loved me and my sister to drive us to a few concerts when we were...

too young to travel X far, or no public transit would get us there.

My mom however enjoyed some, and would when tixs were around $5 - $7+ back in the day
would put some money aside that we came to call "The Concert $50" so before ATMs we almost always had Cash On Hand to run to the local Pharmacy to get a money order on a Sunday to send off for them! 😄

Martha and The Vandellas, Supremes, Temptations

Other Labels - Curtis Mayfield, The Staple Singers, Sly and The Family Stone

[surrealAmerican]

70. I had a few of those ...

... M. C. Escher posters - wasn't too interested in pictures of celebrities though.

[debm55]

71. I went through a M.C. Escher period, too.

His artwork amazes me.

[Prairie_Seagull]

80. Bruce Lee, Raquel Welch, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd. nt

[debm55]

84. Good selection

[Aristus]

81. I had Cheryl Tiegs' pink bikini poster on my bedroom wall.

She was my favorite model. Despite her cheesy camera commercials where she had to play dumb and not know how to operate an Olympus OM-10, she always struck me as highly intelligent. And I found that just as sexy as the bikini.

[debm55]

85. Good choice.

[frogmarch]

82. I had a crush on Jack Elam when I was 11.

I am not kidding. He fascinated me.

[debm55]

87. Get out. What was the fascination?

[dickthegrouch]

83. Bay City Rollers

And Adam Ant

[debm55]

86. Great choice there.
