My family travelled the globe in the 80s followingF1 so here's another 80s heartthrob that adorned my wall. I cried buckets when he died.

Ma and Pa Bollo are proper Manc but Pa joined the RAF, which explains why I was the only City supporter in my north London school when we lost the FA Cup to Tottenham. Great. Just great. I went to both matches as well.

How could I have forgotten Wendy James..?

For some reason, I didn't ...

 

[Chromatic]

Or something very very similar. I think I also had a poster of the cover of Relayer too if I remember correctly.

 

[Glow worm]

I did use to worry about a lot of stuff...

I used to tear out pictures of footballers and teams from the Charles Buchan Football Mionthly.Typhoo tea also did large pictues of teams and players.But what i did like,was the cardboard league tables which looked like ladders.That is a long long time ago.

[QUOTE 4200984, member: 259"]A Tarkus one (I didn't even like Emerson Lake and Palmer) and some
l had to share my room with my big brother, so we had a massive Yes poster and a massive Genesis one (Selling England by the Pound). I had a Northern Soul one but he drew a willy on it![/QUOTE]

In some sort of chronological order:
A Weetabix(?) illustration of the solar system
Something from the Apollo moonshot.
Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda from Easy Rider
Some original artwork from a motorbike magazine - a cutaway drawing of an Ariel
The CND poster of the Haywain with Cruise Missiles added by Peter Kennard
Harold Lloyd hanging off a clock face

This vvvvvvv

Strangely, I never noticed the car was white.....

I had a couple of other posters but this is the one that sticks in my mind. Possibly because it was such a rebellious stand against my devoutly Christian parents. Used to love browsing the wares at Athena just on the corner of Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester whenever I got the chance to get the bus into town. The selection at our local Woolworths just wasn't a match for the Athena range. It makes me feel really old saying this

James Joyce, Mozart, Einstein, that sort of thing.

oh, sorry, wrong thread.

Mostly Debby Harry.

Or something very very similar. I think I also had a poster of the cover of Relayer too if I remember correctly.

In a similar vein I had the Escape poster but didn't realise it was album art as I'd never heard of Yes or Roger Dean - it just caught my eye in a shop display.

Two things that every rampant teenage boy must have ...






An Akai 4000DS reel-to-reel tape recorder. (I eventually got one of those.)

A Lotus Seven like the one that 'The Prisoner' drove. (I never learned to drive, so that will never happen!)
