what bedroom posters did you have as a teenager?

[RWright]

+1
I had that poster but it had Live At Leeds at the bottom and an Easy Rider poster for years on my bedroom walls.

Not a single one... though I did start to paint one wall a dark intense purple one week-end, but got bored and never finished it... out of the house either working or on my motorbike too much to bother.

View attachment 17038 JPS Lotus F1 car and Kate Bush.

Doesn't look like Kate Bush to me, though that helmet could contain a lot of crimped hair.

Just what I though until I saw the 'JPS Lotus car and' bit.

Walls were plastered in 80`s metal & thrash metal posters + a lot of horror posters and pullouts from Fangoria magazines

I had Rocky

,

the one with the girl scratching her bum on a tennis court,

a 'Why?' poster

(that went down real well in the army barracks I was in),

a Lambourghini Countach ,

and an Iron Maiden 'Number of the Beast' one.

I remember a Saxon one too......

lots of ayrton senna, a big drawing of an sr71 blackbird, and some nice shots of the space shuttle...

Mostly Blake's Seven posters, from the monthly magazine. Blutak on the emulsioned walls was frowned upon, but my room had a gloss painted picture rail, so I blutaked the top poster to that, and then another suspended from that, and so on. I had dozens.

Chelsea FC, especially Peter Osgood, Chopper Harris and Peter Bonetti (Bonetti was the first Chelsea autograph I got) . This was followed by a wall full of heavy metal posters. Motorhead, Rush, Raven, Black Sabbath, Scorpions etc

I'll put my hand up to a Che Guevara

Yep me too, plus Karl Marx and a Hammer horror Dracula film poster (no idea why). My nan (who brought me up) on seeing the Che one said; 'who's that? I don't like the look of him, he looks like a communist'.

Metallica iron maiden megadeth

60's footballers and teams mainly Manchester United i have to confess.And those superb cardboard football magazine league tables.With the teams moved up and down in slots.

Yup. from Shoot magazine.

FTFY. Rush is not heavy metal. It's dodgy Rand-obsessed power prog at best

I had an elderly star chart where all the stars were painted in luminous paint to represent the relative magnitudes of the stars in the sky. It was fantastic, and a 'hand me down' as my brother had left it on the wall when I took over his room after he went to Uni.

I did also had some posters of trucks and tractors.
The rest of the walls were mostly album covers, which I still have.

I'm a bit embarrassed to confess to Donny Osmond In my defence I was only 13. He was replaced a few years later by David Essex and I also had a set of art noveau posters featuring languid ladies with lots of trailing drapery. I couldn't afford the whole set of 4 so I saved up and bought them one at a time from the really cool shop in Sunderland where everyone went for posters and records. I still have a thing about Art Deco and Art Noveau design.
