What posters did you have on your wall as a teen? I had a poster that said: "if you don't know where

[applegrove]

you're going you'll probably end up somewhere else!". I thought it was hilarious as a tween. As a teenager I was too shy put up posters of movie stars or whatever.

[pink-o]

1. This one...

...in 1972. I was seventeen and LOVED the eye candy!

[applegrove]

2. Sexy. Who is it?

[pink-o]

4. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin! Here's what he looks like today

time is the greatest leveler of all.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

28. Here's Plant in another 10 years

"Does anybody remember MOLARS?"



:eyes:

[pink-o]

32. LOL! Does anybody remember we're never supposed to refer

to "Stairway to Heaven" in any form? (Obviously, you saw Zep live a few times too!)

Actually, your pic could be prescient: Dentistry in England isn't any better today than it was when I lived there in the 70s!

[Faygo Kid]

3. Richard Avedon Beatles

I'm dating myself, but so what - I wish I still had them.

[pink-o]

5. Nothing Beatles will ever be dated. Like Mozart, they'll be studied for generations.

And those posters are awesome!

[applegrove]

6. I was a teen in 1980 and we all were into the Beatles big time back then.

I think every generation discovers them and it amazed.

[annabanana]

7. good stuff stays good

generation to generation

[Faygo Kid]

10. Like All You Need Is Love. Courtesy YouTube, on a Saturday night.

A reminder of what counts, and thanks to the OP for bringing up quality memories.

8. black light alice in wonderland stuff

cheshire cat and mushrooms
janis joplin
jimi hendricks
vanilla fudge

and stolen movie ads from the NYC Subway system (late 60's, early 70's)

[ArnoldLayne]

9. Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer,Robin Trower and Peter Gabriel wearing a flower

on his face

[stuntcat]

11. Prince and Stevie Nicks

I always go way overboard obsessing about music people. It didn't have much to do with lusting after them, I mean most of the girls at my school had Duran Duran posters about that time, but it wasn't crushes I had, they're still my favorites :)

[MiddleFingerMom]

12. I don't know if it were ever a Lounge "poster" or not...

...but graywarrior had a certain feathered fowl taped up on her wall.

She CLAIMS to have freed it.

14. LOL!

[solara]

23. Heh, heh

[triguy46]

13. Had two, wish I still had them:

STeve Mcqueen on motorcycle from Great Escape, and a full size of Racquel Welch in bikini. Motorcycles and babes!

[Faygo Kid]

15. Good choices. You ol' guy, you.

Me too. See earlier post.

I think you can figure out the birthdate of anyone within two years from their response to this post.

[Aristus]

16. This one:

Got me through adolescence...

[hibbing]

17. No one else had the classic Farrah Fawcett one?

Hi,
That is one I remember for sure.

Peace

[MilesColtrane]

19. My brother had Farrah on the wall of his room.

I had my eye set on brunettes. (and still do)

[hibbing]

22. well hello

Hey,
Wow, trying to think of years, who the heck is that? Looks familiar but I just can't quite place her, nevermind, used the google machine and my first thought was right, Adrienne Barbeau.

Peace

[tigereye]

18. Mark Spitz with all his Olympic swimming medals (72) and

David Cassidy, I think.

[IcyPeas]

20. Marc Bolan (T.Rex) and Rod Stewart . . . . eom

[Skip Intro]

21. Several KISS posters, a nice Farrah poster, STYX, RATT, RUSH, Aerosmith, maybe Cinderella...

Love them all to this day...

[sakabatou]

24. None

[Frank Cannon]

25. All of these

[Pool Hall Ace]

57. It is great that Farrah could exude sexuality without the

overinflated fake boobs that are so prevalent today. :thumbsup:

[Frank Cannon]

58. She had a great deal of personality.

I had the opportunity to meet her once at a charity function that I helped set up back in the late '80s, but I totally chickened out. Figured it would be like staring straight into the sun, you know? My friends went, though, and reported that she was very nice and communicative with all of them.

[pacalo]

26. I can't find the actual one with the fu manchu mustache, but this'll do...

I had a serious crush on Joe Namath.

[blueamy66]

27. Steve Perry from Journey

and more Steve Perry from Journey

I even had them on my ceiling, so he'd be the first thing I saw when I woke up in the morning.

and more Steve Perry from Journey :-)

[MrScorpio]

29. No poster, I had a large street map of Detroit

I used it to plot my daily bike riding jaunts during the summertime.

I really love maps.

[kentauros]

40. You'd probably love this site then:

Perry-Castañeda Library - Map Collection

:D

[rbnyc]

30. I had a roll of newsprint all over the walls and ceiling...

...and I wrote quotes from my favorite poets and bands in black marker.

I remember some:

"How wonderful is death, death and his brother sleep" - Percy Bysshe Shelley

"They all claim that they have the answer.
When they don't even know the question.
They're just a bunch of liars.
They just want your money.
They just want your consciousness.
All religions suck.
All religions make me wanna throw up!" - Dead Kennedys

"The living that is owed to me I'm never going to get,
They've buggered this old world up, up to their necks in dept.
They'd give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done,
They'll make you an epitome of everything that's wrong." - Crass

"A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star." - William Blake

[txwhitedove]

31. So cool! Now I want to do a room like that.

[Lindsey]

33. I want to post a couple of pictures but don't know how! Can some-

one here tell me what to do? Thanks :-)

[txwhitedove]

34. Upload your pictures on a free site like photobuck.com, then

copy from there to paste here.

[rbnyc]

42. I loved it.

My dad worked for a while operating a fork lift where our local paper was printed and he sometimes brought home rolls of newsprint for art projects.

I was always very into words.

(I think I used to be much smarter!)

[PassingFair]

35. "Hang In There, Baby!"

I also had a Bobby Sherman poster for
a brief moment.

[old mark]

36. Stuff like this.....Link:

This kind of stuff got me a file with the FBI in 1968 (true!)...now they are $30 on Amazon! :rofl:

[Lindsey]

37. Thanks Txwhitedove...I'll give it a try :-) n/t

[Lindsey]

38. Well, I got on the site you suggested and was totally lost. I'm

so frickin' clueless w/navigating computers (except playing on the internet, of course-LOL!)

So I'll just have to write what posters were in my room as a teenager:

The Endless Summer (I lived in a surfin' town and almost everyone I knew had this poster in their rooms)
My favorite Beatle's pictures were pretty much everywhere

[Kat45]

54. I remember the Endless Summer poster.

I didn't have it, but I did see the movie. Loved all that surfer stuff, though I lived in New England.

[kentauros]

39. A GEO poster, a big see-through illustration poster of the Space Shuttle,

and several Space Week posters I helped create.

Then again, I lived here, in the mid-60s to late 80s:





;)

[Tikki]

41. Our boys both had Deborah Harry posters.....

and when I was a teen I had a Roger Miller poster and
an action picture of the SF Bay Bombers and Rat Fink drawings.
All were there so long they got yellowed and cracked.

I have a lot of X the band and RAMONES pictures and sci-fi
stuff around my office, now.

Tikki

[WinkyDink]

43. The Rainbow-Haired Dylan. But in college, I had these SI covers up:

[nolabear]

44. Escher, Einstein, Jim Morrison, The Earth seen from the moon.

I kinda liked smart.

[kentauros]

52. I liked smart stuff too!

:hi:

[LaurenG]

45. War is not healthy for children and other living things

that was what my poster said.

[pokerfan]

46. Everyone always misinterprets this one

because in both cases the caption is referring to the boots!
Get your mind out of the gutter people!

[madinmaryland]

47. I don't have any posters from DU on my wall. A couple are on ignore, though.

:D

[bluedigger]

48. I had a photo of Richard Nixon...

That came down in '73. I didn't have any art after that until college when I had a Yes poster and a nice picture of Koko the gorilla. My roommate had a life size poster of Catherine Bach in her Daisy Dukes...

[livetohike]

49. Many. It was the late 60's. Lots of black light posters but

my favorite was a Jimi Hendrix poster with these words from Voodoo Child - "If I don't see you no more in this world
I'll meet you in the next one. Don't be late!"

I can't find the poster on-line...

[Broken_Hero]

50. A few, mostly sports posters...

Ken Griffey Jr.

Jay Buhner

Jordan/Chicago Bulls

Supersonic's

[hunter]

51. I was a freak.

I hung computer code listings on my wall.

And maps.

[Kat45]

53. I had this poster from a Ten Years After album that a lot of people had up back then

Also a Woodstock poster and a poster that said "Goodbye California" that was a drawing of California breaking off the rest of the country to fall into the ocean (an often made comment at the time); inside California were the names of a lot of the well-known people who lived in the state. In my younger teen years, I also put up pictures that were pages I tore out of 16 magazine; the one I particularly remember was Jim Morrison (a major crush, and I loved the Doors music).

[hifiguy]

55. Lots and lots of Roger Dean

art from Yes albums, a John & Yoko poster I found in a rock magazine, a Raquel Welch (the one with all the hair cascading over her boobs) that was eventually replaced by the famous Adrienne Barbeau pinup (see above). The infrared pyramids poster from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Some "centerfolds" of high-test smokables taken from High Times. A Stones poster, and probably lots of other goofy crap. :P

[bif]

56. This one

[struggle4progress]

59. Easy Rider. Pat Paulsen for President. The Beatles. Quote from Hillel: "If not now, when?"

<edit:> Also a nekkid wimminses

[LisaM]

60. I had a copy of the Kent State shooting picture

the one with the young girl kneeling and screaming. Also, a picture that was like the Marines at Iwo Jima, except it was hippies with a peace flag. The poster of the album cover of "Hair".

[GreenPartyVoter]

61. As a tween it was the standard "Tiger Beat" stuff of the early to mid 80s. Later on it was

Duran Duran, then Bon Jovi, David Lee Roth, etc. Never had one of Kip Winger, but that would have been nice.

In college my posters were of Marilyn Monroe and scenic views, like Scotland and the Eiffel Tower at night. Oh, and I had a couple of shirtless men holding beautiful babies. :D

[snagglepuss]

62. A sketch of Karl Marx wearing a 'Kiss Me I'm a Marxist' button. I thought that

was hilarious.

[Lucian]

63. I had the "I Want to Believe" poster from The X-Files.

Also, Edvard Munch's The Scream and Van Gogh's Starry Night.

I was an...interesting teen.
