He just is though! Flicked over to the greatest 80s songs programme and was reminded anew how perfect he was/is!

I was actually thinking Mags is the Howard Donald of Aha! Handsome and rugged, and quietly a raging horn monster

SaintGutFree horn monster 🤣😂🤣😂!

You’re right, these days (see what I did there? 😉) Mags is rugged and fit as fook but will not top MR D in the horn monster stakes of 2020/21 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

He was beautiful. However Terence Trent d’Arby could have dived into my wishing well any time, day or night. That video with him dancing in Sign Your Name!

Sorry, meant to quite @DartmoorChef again Blush

Morten still gives me flutters! My first love at age 14. Although I agree that Mags has improved with age. Saw them live twice in one week a few years back. I don't know a single other fan in real life though.
Also a quick mention for Paul Young who had to compete for wall space in my teenage bedroom.

Shangrilalala · 31/12/2020 23:29

As a young girl, I was stopped by Mags at the top of the Champs Elysées as he was lost and was looking for the way back to his hotel. I had been in the audience at Bercy the night before. I was speechless and no help whatsoever. And yes, he’s every bit as gorgeous in the flesh 😍

Wearethetwirl · 31/12/2020 23:30

Just read Pal is worth £180 million and was one of the highest earning musicians of last year!

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 31/12/2020 23:30

I did have a soft spot for Jon Bon Jovi, Axl Rose and the like, though.

Loved all that hair.

Teenage girls today have NO IDEA what it was like to be a teen in the 80s and have to wait patiently for Smash Hits, combing through it to see if there was a pic of your particular fave this week or not. No instant gratification of Google then!

They will also never know the importance of the question Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet? - had to be one or the other, couldn't be both.

And when Michael Jackson was just a great singer and dancer, and Madonna was effortlessly cool and edgy.

Candlesticking · 31/12/2020 23:31

@LyndaSnellsSniff

...Pal also looks like Jasper Carrot.
Did not. I loved Pål.

It says a lot about the kind of twelve year old I was that I would have trampled over the handsome one and the smiley curly-haired boy-next-door to get to the one who looked like a cheek-bony blonde famine victim. Grin

TyneTeas · 31/12/2020 23:31

My teen DD is also rather taken with A-Ha but is in denial completely that they are from my equivalent teens and actually older than us!

DartmoorChef · 31/12/2020 23:40

My main crush was nikki sixx from motley Crue.. He hasn't aged too badly considering his lifestyle. Axl on the other hand.. Oh dear.. And he was so beautiful back then.

Im guessing most of us on this thread are of a similar age (I'm 52 in feb).. Where the bloody hell have the last 35 years gone 😭😭😭

I was only 7 when I first saw the video for Take On Me, but I knew I wanted to be the blonde girl who gets pulled into the comic, even if I didn’t understand why. Over the summer during a lull in homeschooling I introduced my children to the same video, telling them earnestly “this is the most beautiful man who has ever lived”.

According to an acquaintance who is a massive A-ha fan, Pål is the talented one who writes all the music.

Showing my age here, but when I was 5 yrs old I watched jailhouse rock and decided with some certainty that I would marry Elvis...
