911 🙈

My friend had a short relationship with one of them so I met them a few times... nice guys.

@BarelyLiterate
I was too young to appreciate Wham in there day but George Micheal is perfection. I remember being about 17 and having my first slow dance to careless whisper (this would have been mid 90s) It's a shame teens today won't experience slow dances in cheesy nightclubs.

Duran Duran (and, just as in life, I never go for the obvious ones so my favourite was Roger Taylor)

But we were reminiscing earlier on as the name was mentioned on tv - Adam and the Ants were something else!

AHa and more AHa. The things my teenage mind would have done to Morton if I'd got him alone...!!

I was one of the first to have cable Tv in my class so knew about Hanson before they were on Top of the Pops, I carried around a picture of Zac (I was 11) so was called a lesbian! Trying to explain he was a boy didn’t change anything until they became popular enough that the other girls realised he was a boy 🤷‍♀️11 year olds can be cruel

Boyzone then Westlife. Disliked Take that hugely because they were rivals to Boyzone. I had a boyzone clock and a Stephen Gately doll about broke my heart when he came out then actually broke my heart when he died. Sad
