What bedroom posters did you have as a teen?

We're in the process of decorating upstairs at the moment and it brought back memories of my bedroom wall as a teen which was pretty much covered floor to ceiling. I used to cut out pics from Kerrang! of my fave artists just to make sure every available inch of space was used.
My absolute fave posters were a big black and white picture of Kurt Cobain who I thought was gorgeous (although sadly deceased by the time I was interested in Nirvana) and a poster of South Park which was huge in the late 90s. Who was on your wall as a teen?

I had a Green Day one - their 'Dookie' album cover.

My favourite was a System of a Down one where it was an illustration of the band riding an elephant, and they were surrounded by the kombucha mushroom people.

This one! Loved it!

The beatles I was born 85 so a teen in the late 90s I was bullied so badly for being vegan, a beatles fan and handing out leaflets on anti vivisection. I think I was pretty cool.

Depeche Mode, Korn, and Nine Inch Nails.

David, Jon, and Trent.

Wham, with lipstick imprints all over George's white T-shirt. Madonna, Aha, Belinda Carlisle, Sam Smith ( stop)

Glad to see people loved their posters as much as me. I used to get a great deal of satisfaction from changing them around and getting new ones esp if I went somewhere cool like Camden and could get new ones different to those available in my town.
I remember that system of a down poster and had a hoody of the dookie album cover. Smile

I didn’t put bands up, apart from one, Duran Duran as I had a proper crush on roger Taylor, I put all the Athena posters up. You know the moody black and white ones with fit looking blokes holding babies,,that kinda thing 🤣

supercatlady · 12/09/2020 21:43

John Travolta (Grease) above my bed 😂

ALongHardWinter · 12/09/2020 21:44

When I was about 10 or 11,it was The Sweet,because I had a massive crush on Brian Connally. Then it was Starsky and Hutch because I was in love with David Soul (I had a thing about blond men!). Then when I was 15,I got into Thin Lizzy in a big way so my walls were plastered with them.
