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?

@Prokupatuscrakedatus

I wasn't allowed this kind of "infatuation".
@Prokupatuscrakedatus - that's sad. My dad tore all my Buffalo Boys ones down. I was furious. It was a lot of bare bottoms and it freaked him out I suppose.

Apparently, the official title of the Athena one was 'L'Enfant'.

Obviously, as I'm sure everybody who had that poster only ever focused on the baby....
