Boy George, George Michael, Adam Ant, all incredibly pretty.

Definitely. You don't get that much these days.

LaurieFairyCake · 31/05/2019 21:40

Nope. You were just young and horny then.

Dd looked at Wank Direction the same

Sparklingbrook · 31/05/2019 21:52

There was not one pretty member of 1D IMO.

Bands were proper back in the day and played instruments and everything. Grin

John Taylor, morten harket. Not just pop stars, actors as well. Rob Lowe and Andy McCarthy anyone?

Halimeda · 31/05/2019 22:00

MrsBob, I prided myself on my originality for fancying the skeletal guitarist, Pål, rather than hunky Morten. Grin

MrsBobBlackadder · 31/05/2019 22:02

@Halimeda my sister used to like Pal, and my BFF next door loved Mags! A-ha had someone for everyone Smile

x2boys · 31/05/2019 22:03

I always prefered Mags myself @HalimedaGrin

We were recently watching an old live pop show from the 80s.

A bunch of pot ugly, greasy haired and sweaty faced blokes but playing their own instruments. And an out of her face Debbie Harry.

DS haughtily announces auto tune until we pointed out that it hasn’t been invented then and that they were actually singing live (and in tune).

Fruityb · 31/05/2019 22:05

Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones - both cute.

John Taylor of Duran - yes please. Nick Rhodes too.

Boy George was and is gorgeous.

Nick Heyward.

Was also more of a Pål fan too!

x2boys · 31/05/2019 22:06

But then my sister always preferred Andrew Ridgely rather than George Michael which in hindsight was probably for the best....

BlackForestCake · 31/05/2019 22:09

Haven't pop stars always tended to be pretty?

Not the Rolling Stones, they were a bunch of munters.

ASqueakingInTheShrubbery · 31/05/2019 22:13

Sebastian Bach, Nikki Sixx, Axl/Slash/Duff, JBJ/Richie Sambora, all of Def Leppard except Phil, who peaked later, David Coverdale...

They don't make 'em like they used to.

Oooooh Adam Ant [knickers flying off]

burblish · 31/05/2019 22:19

John Taylor, David Sylvain, Mark Shaw, Adam Ant, Nick Rhodes, Migi from Curiosity Killed the Cat - all very, very pretty (especially John Taylor - soooo handsome!).

burblish · 31/05/2019 22:20

And how could I forget Morten “Phwoar” Harket! Lots of pretty rock boys in the 80s, too, although scary amount of hairspray.

CheeseFace · 31/05/2019 22:22

Current Pål.

Conyo - that's Ricky Gervais !!

x2boys · 31/05/2019 22:24

Indeed burblish I wonder how much of the pretty rock men out the 80,s and their followers contributed to the hole in ozone layer?

scarecrowhead · 31/05/2019 22:24

My beloved George and Andrew ❤️

80's rock stars were something else. Prettier than their girlfriend usually Grin.
