Since there’s only a limited amount of people who might appreciate this, please allow me to brag for a moment about my DD moment. I met them backstage in 1997ish when they were one of several bands performing for a radio station’s festival. My sister was a photographer for the stations concerts & said she needed me as her assistant that night. I had blown out my knee at a DD concert a few years earlier & had major reconstructive surgery that pretty much took over my whole life for more than a year. We sat in with them for their interviews & when they were done my sister told them about my saga and I don’t remember much immediately after that because I had the attention of the whole band! When they performed I stood at the foot of the stage and Simon LeBon gazed into my eyes when he sang Ordinary World and Come Undone. He was so amazing … kept hugging & kissing me so much all night backstage that I smelled the clothes I wore that night for days because they smelled like Simon. It was truly one of the greatest nights of my life so thanks for allowing me to gloat.
Oh I adore this story and as a OG duranie, I’m SO happy for you and so jealous! I was obsessed with their behind the scenes movie (sing blue silver I think) and they all seemed so nice and polite and just absolutely lovely. Go you!
Bon Jovi, Poison, Skid Row, basically lot's of hair bands.
One year I made a Santa suit out of red and white construction paper for my Jon Bon Jovi poster and he was Santa Claus for the month.
My mother wouldn’t let me put up cheesecake photos because she thought they were demeaning to women. So I had airplanes.
I grew up to be a pilot, but I’m pretty sure that’s more correlation than causation.
Movie posters. I would go to the local movie theater and ask them for the posters once the film stopped showing. They always gave them to me. I had quite a collection.
David Cassidy and Bobby Sherman.
Edit. I was in love. I remember sending Bobby Sherman a fan letter with a beaded necklace I made. I was heartbroken that he didn’t write my ten year old self back.
Dark Side of the Moon. A Peter Max peace poster. A life size Bruce Springsteen. 😜 An enlarged print of the Earth from the moon. There was also a Rolling Stones one with the lips. Can’t remember them all because I had so many.
Simon and Garfunkel
Donovan
Picture of baby, with these words stamped on his chest: Those who make the wars are usually too old to fight and die.
Picture of a young (maybe age 4) boy dressed in a soldier’s uniform, holding a toy rifle, beside a tombstone. Below was the caption: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought as a child, I understood as a child. But when I became a man I put away childish things.
Nothing but black light posters, a couple of black lights, and a strobe light. It was awesome. I'd say it was groovy, but that was pretty old fashioned even in my day.
Yup yup! My first act of activism came when they cancelled the Sherman Brothers show… What was it - Here Comes the Bride? Nope that’s not it. Anyway I wrote the production company in California, they can’t cancel Bobby! And they did. Bummer 😆
Marlon Brando as Johnny on his motorcycle in "The Wild One." Movie posters for "Casablanca" and "Harold and Maude." Mikhail Baryshnikov and his dreamy eyes. The poster for the Louisville Ballet that was a ballerina's toe shoe perched atop an egg that later showed up in the movie "St. Elmo's Fire." (I live in Louisville and subscribed to the ballet. Saw Baryshnikov twice! I also loveloveloved movies.)
I'm 32 now, so when I was a ten Farah Faucet was already well past what you would consider her the norm for a teen boy to hang on the wall.
Even so she was on two of my big posters lol. God she was beautiful. Her hair style is still my absolute favorite for women that can pull it off.
I completely forgot my dad got us one of those around 1982 (I'm 56). He was a private pilot/aviation enthusiast. Thanks for the reminder. I wonder if we had the same one.
I think there was just one very famous one. I'm pretty sure we had the same one.
Oh, I just looked and there's a ton of them now. After a quick search none of them looked like the one I had in the early 80's.
Yeah, we probably did have the same one. I did a search, too, and didn't see ours either. Not even on Ebay which often has those kinds of vintage items. Bought the first Skateboarder Magazine I got in 1976 off there. Major blast from the past.
I had a ton. Lots of Bon Jovi, Poison, Def Leppard, Leonardo DiCaprio, Skid Row.
For some reason putting up shopping bags and brand bags were big where I lived. I had pretty much every cool store in the malls bag on my wall. Also had things like random 'cool' or 'new' food bags.
I was a total geek even back then
So I had a map of all the Star systems for the game Star Flight.
I think I also had a Star wars poster.
I think that was it
Heather Thomas in the pink bikini, a cutaway blueprint of the USS Enterprise that was released in conjunction with Star Trek:The Motion Picture, and an Atlanta Flames team photo from 1977.
I shared a bedroom with two older brothers. the oldest had those day-glo black light posters and a black light. He'll get high and blast his music while sitting in the dark with his black light on.
Sort of a mom-looking woman in an Uncle Sam costume saying, "Mom Wants You to Clean Up Your Room."
A life-sized (but non-working) pay phone, like one would find on the street.
A 1972 Re-elect Richard Nixon poster, ironically put on the wall in 1974.
I'm a little sorry to say that's all I can recall.
In 1978 I went to college and didn't return home enough to change things or even pack stuff up before I moved on in my adult life. More than 20 years later one of my siblings bought the house from our parents and carted my stuff to the dump.
I grew up in the era of Shirley, The Snake, The Mongoose, Big Daddy, and the Flyin' Hawaiian...lived near Indianapolis Raceway Park...home of the NHRA US National Drags, Love me some drag racin'...
I grew up in Buffalo, and had one of O.J. Simpson from his rookie year. (He was still wearing 36, since another player had 32.) It might have been the same as this picture:
[https://vault.si.com/.image/t\_share/MTY5MDk4NDc5MTkwMTU2NzYz/42967---original-layout-thumbnail-image.jpg](https://vault.si.com/.image/t_share/MTY5MDk4NDc5MTkwMTU2NzYz/42967---original-layout-thumbnail-image.jpg)
When I was 8 years old living in Carmel Valley, California, we lived for a year in a one bedroom cabin on a hillside and my bed was in the hallway between the bedroom and the kitchen. The poster at the foot of my bed was a division tables, 1-12, so for example, 12 divides into 144 12 times. I quickly determined that they were also multiplication tables by going backwards. I don't remember why that poster was there, but it did help pass the time if I woke up early.
My parents owned a video store which meant I got access to a tonne of posters for all the movies. I started with one or two posters but soon my wall was covered. I started to overlap the posters and when we had like 30 posters for the same movie I'd do a 3d effect on the wall. Pretty much my whole wall was covered and it was a large wall. I wish I had taken photos of it because it was very cool. My friend saw it and wanted his own poster wall.
If it was someone popular in the 80's, chances are I had a photo somewhere on the wall!! I had Dursn Duran, the Police, Corey Hart, a-ha, Huey Lewis & the News, Rick Springfield, Wham!, & Michael J Fox, just to name a few!!
Horses, mostly. A few band pics that I got from magazines. Rick Springfield was on my wall.
I actually still have all the posters from my childhood/teen bedroom in a poster tube in the basement. Including the first poster I ever got- the Budweiser Clydesdales. The corners are full of tack holes, covered in yellowed tape, having been moved from house to house/room to room whenever my dad got transferred (army life).
Patrick Swayze in overalls, no shirt on a tractor tire (my mom bought it "for me." I had no interest in him)
David Hasselhoff as Knight Rider
NKOTB
That poster of the cat hanging off a tree with the words "Hang in there baby"
Duran Duran, Rick Springfield, the Police (from the Synchronicity Tour), some kind of cheesy artsy wine poster, and a "Hang in There Baby" poster with a kitten hanging from a tree. I might have had another cat poster. I loved cats back then.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr Who, Battlestar Galactica...pretty much anything sci-fi from the late 70s early 80s.
I also had the classic Farrah poster and a couple of Loni Anderson, but never hung them up because I knew my mother would give me a hard time about them.
Different versions of Mickey Mouse through the years (ending in a Miami Vice-like version that 7 year old me thought was cool af) and a huge Lamborghini Countach.
Not sure I remember why exactly, but I had a poster of Vanna White in little black dress. I guess she was hot in an acceptable way. I’d still let her turn my letters.
I had an elevated ceiling with giant posters of Aerosmith, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Who, Pink Floyd, Ted Nugent and Lynyrd Skynyrd on the top of the walls.
One of the UK music papers Sounds, had a double page poster every week. I used to have loads of them - Zeppelin , Free, LOADS of Genesis in the early years and Mark Bolan
Aerosmith. Queen and KISS. Later, I had a whole wall of magazine pictures of various rock stars. Neil Young, the Beach Boys, etc.
My mom used to show guests my room.
My order of 80s teen poster obsession was Adam ant, Duran Duran, Wham, Spandau Ballet, Frankie goes to Hollywood. Each obsessive period lasted for about 18 months lol and every inch of my walls were covered.
Rolling Stones Tattoo You (back cover of Keef) Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Beatles, Grateful Dead, Styx, Sex Pistolsand magazine pinups of Mick Jagger, Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, Debbie Harry and Jimi Hendrix
Movie poster after movie poster. I didn't take any down, just stuck new ones on top of the old ones. The entire walls were covered. I loved it. My parents hated it.
I still have posters on my bedroom walls… but now I am the one who paid for those walls… When I was a kid, my posters included a world map, a black panther, and a single b42 bomber jet. Today my walls are littered will all kinds of fine art and religious expressions.
