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?

A huge Trainspotting poster that covered the whole wall.

I remember having everything from A1, five, steps and the spice girls, to Marilyn Manson and Blink 182, to the Prodigy, whatever was in smash hits, top of the pops or other teen magazines (mizz, bliss, teen vogue, Elle girl), and later NME

I am v old and would appear eclectic - David Bowie , Bryan Ferry - but once once Blush Alvin stardust with his gloves and ring

I shall deny that in court

Once I got older posters went the way of all flesh - it was more hi-fi in the bedroom and albums

I had this Andy Gibb and another one of him in a blue silk jacket. I was a tween but kept that poster for years and years

I then went through a pretentious phase of wanting obscure black and white photo type posters or pictures of art

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll

pictures of motorbikes from magazines my dad gave me that I cut the naked women off of.

That must have been quite a painstaking task. Were they actually riding/astride the bikes or just draped across the top? Either way, very impressive redacting skills pre-Photoshop!

They were in all sorts of poses. Looking back it's a very odd thing to give to a young teen but I just loved the bikes. It took forever to cut them out.

A trillion of my lover Keanu Reeves.

Lots of various dark-haired 90s indie boys such as Tim Burgess, Menswear, Rick Witter, Jarvis Cocker, Liam Gallagher.

Movie posters: Trainspotting, Grease, Austin Powers.

Inspirational Christian posters.

Not a poster but when young my DS got a card of Aragorn son of Arathorn ( have I got that the right way round ) out of a packet of cereal , and gave it to me & I pinned it up on my work noticeboard. - Because Mummy loves Aragorn , not Viggo Mortensen - just Aragorn.
