They usually had more make up too @DrCoconut ,they were something else😍

@elQuintoConyo Ricky Gervais in his earlier synth-pop incarnation.

I was a total Brossette Grin Matt-Conyo-Luke sandwich to go, please!

scarecrowhead · 31/05/2019 22:31

Marilyn was on gogglebox with boy George !

sweeneytoddsrazor · 31/05/2019 22:46

JBJ is still a sexgod. As a youngster (well early 20s) I worked with Marilyn's mum.

Pgqio · 31/05/2019 22:47

Marylin is still lovely. A real goddess

BubblegumFactory · 31/05/2019 22:48

Yes - David Bowie (Let’s Dance video always gets me), David Lee Roth, Morten Harkett, Marti Pellow, Billy Idol, Michael Hutchence, Phil Oakey etc
No - Phil Collins, Dave Stewart, Bono, all of ZZTop, Elton John, Boy George, Mark King etc
Made no difference to which music I liked though!

tor8181 · 31/05/2019 22:51

i would say the 90s as i was a small child in the 80s
there was a lot of pretty boyband members 90s and early 00s

Jsmith99 · 31/05/2019 22:52

Every generation has its pretty-boy pop stars, because that is what sells to girls and young women. It’s called the music business for a reason.

This thread is my happy place.

All my swoony teen crushes
George and Andrew, Morten, John Taylor, Martin Kemp, Bros (except Ken).
I don’t remember Boy George being a heartthrob though. Everyone fancied the drummer.

scarecrowhead · 31/05/2019 23:02

John Moss was the drummer !

TheFaerieQueene · 31/05/2019 23:03

I knew someone would find a Ricky Gervais pic!

BethMaddison · 31/05/2019 23:04

Not 80s but 90s... how beautiful was Taylor Hanson , I could never work out if I fancied him or just wanted to look like him 🤣
