My Mum was at a party that Jimmy Page was at back in the day. This story has expanded over time so it is now family legend that she ‘went out’ with him and had they stayed together he could have been my Dad!!!! She didn’t actually even speak to him, just saw him across a crowded room Grin

@HUCKMUCK

Ha! I love it! We’ve got a few of those in our family. Not quite sure where the truth ends and fiction starts. Mum, did you really turn down a date with Mick Jagger because you preferred Cliff Richard? (Apparently so!)

I was 16 in 1974 and a big Led Zep fan. Have just given DS (22) all my old vinyl albums and he's now a fan.
It was the hair.
It seemed almost overnight all the men had long hair.
Check out Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple. My favourite band musically at that time were Uriah Heep but while they had the hair they didn't quite have the looks.

I bought Uriah Heep's album very heavy very humble for my boyfriend's 19th birthday.
He's now DH of many years and will be 71 this birthday. Smile

I think young Ozzy Osborne was gorgeous.

If you like Stairway to Heaven you might like its oder sister... with the beautiful voice of Sandy Denny...

Battle of Evermore, far better than StH!

KathleenTurnerOverdrive · 27/01/2021 12:10

Yeah, but Jimmy Page is a nonce though.

I bought it for dad, it is now mine Smile

Ah, memories of Andy's records, Cambridge!

MrsVogon · 27/01/2021 12:12

@LadyfromtheBelleEpoque agree about David Byrne. I still fancy him!!

For me, it's Bowie all the way. He was old enough to be my dad, but I always thought he was beautiful throughout his years.

VinylDetective · 27/01/2021 12:13

Back in the day Led Zeppelin’s Thank You was our song with my ex.

The most beautiful man of that era was Marc Bolan in my eyes. In a weird way I’m pleased he never grew old.

Our 'local' record shop was Jill Hanson's Coventry.
Long gone.

Yes Dave Gilmour was bloody gorgeous!!
Billy Idol had great features, he would've aged well without all the surgery.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 27/01/2021 12:17

Don't google Baby Groupies... you will enter a rabbit hole that will hurt your head and heart.

Pantah630 · 27/01/2021 12:17

And not only Jimmy, quite a few rock star heroes of that era had groupies that were very young.

Jimmy hasn't aged well but Robert Plant is still gorgeous and I still would. Only time I went full fan girl was seeing him on stage in the 90's. Blush

CuriousaboutSamphire · 27/01/2021 12:19

And not only Jimmy, quite a few rock star heroes of that era had groupies that were very young. Or, if you read the books written by some of those gorupies

Quiet a few very young groupies had quite a few rock stars!

The past is a very, very different country!

tigerlily20 · 27/01/2021 12:23

I want to google it because I've read briefly a few things that they slept with underage girls etc and this is the main reason I find these men repulsive and turned against David Bowie (💔) but I'm scared to google it in case I get put on a list... is it a book?

augustusglupe · 27/01/2021 12:24

Ah yes Marc Bolan was my first crush.

sqirrelfriends Yes, agree Ozzy was attractive, he was so angelic looking but then the reality was so different...a devastating combination Grin

ammary · 27/01/2021 12:24

YABU for coming on and talking about their looks not the amazing music.

And Jimmy Page is well known for sleeping with underage groupies so is ugly in my eyes.

ammary · 27/01/2021 12:25

I've met Robert Plant a few times - once in Sainsburys! Nice chap. Still got fab hair.

thepeopleversuswork · 27/01/2021 12:25

This with bells on. Have loved Led Zep for years and I’d have done both of them.

KathleenTurnerOverdrive · 27/01/2021 12:27

Page actually had a 13vyear old kept in a locked hotel room with a security guard. His crimes were above and beyond what other people in the 60s and 70s did.

I'm happy to seperate the art from the artist, but that kinda thing colours my reaction to them as a person.
