Blur
Loved the music and I was besotted with Damon Albarn.

I'd love to see Damon's face at being accused of being in a boy band 🤣

I was a massive NKOTB fan, have seen them a few times as a middle age woman and screamed like a 12 year old girl! My favourite was Jon 😁

When I was late teens and became cool I was moved onto blur, saw them twice this year, at Wembley and also one of the smaller warm up gigs... amazing back catalogue and great live ☺️

@AlexCabot I was going to marry Joey too! In fact, if I wasn't going to marry Joey then I wasn't marrying anyone. Ever. (Looks over at DH!) NKOTB..loved them

SuperDopper · 26/01/2024 19:42

5ive!

Was never allowed to see them when I was a teen so I might have since been to a few of their reunion concerts, and paid a small fortune to meet them too…

The monkees

Sgtmajormummy · 26/01/2024 19:53

In my all-girls school you were either a Spandau Ballet fan or a Durannie. Or very early U2.
Instead I alternated Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall with Dire Straits’ Sultans of Swing albums.

I also had a later unconfessed thing for George Michael in his Different Corner white cotton jumper and highlights days, but who didn’t??

Take

Take That, never got the chance to see them as a teen so the above link made all my teenage dreams come true... I've been to lots of there shows over the years, still love them.

Yes, I was only going to marry Joey (or Evan!) but I suppose I settled....Smile

Oh yes @kraysee The Monkees!
I loved Mike Nesmith - so cool.
And Davy Jones.
The other two were not on my radar 😆

BarelyLiterate · 26/01/2024 20:15

Boybands weren’t really my thing. I was more into indie bands (The Smiths were my favourites) and, although I sometimes kept quiet about my uncool tastes, classic rock.

Wham were different though. Like everyone else I saw these two pretty boys jumping around on TOTP singing their catchy ditties but didn’t give them too much thought. But the hits kept coming & the songs kept getting better and I realised that it all came from George Michael himself. He was clearly a brilliant young singer / songwriter / producer masquerading as a teen pop star. Then Careless Whisper came out & everyone else realised it, too. Listen Without Prejudice remains one of my all time favourite albums.

Squidge123 · 26/01/2024 20:26

Take That! I have followed them from the beginning and even use to travel to sit outside Marks house when I was 15!
I still follow them now( but I don't sit outside Marks house anymore ha ha) and have met them quite a few times now.
Tour starts in April so is an exciting few months planned.
