I had a picture of Johnny Deep above my bed.
I had tons of pics of Bon Jovi, Corey Hart, and Bret Michaels.

I remember I had a huge poster of Bon Jovi and every night I'd kiss it and say "Goonight John" awww, that's a riot! :clap:

I also make collages (spelling) in my notebook of "I love so and so" and put big hearts around them, awesome memories! :D

I had John Taylor & Duran Duran all over. I also remember Howard Jones, Depeche Mode... but they weren't because of looks, just music. :p

I had a full door poster of "Eddie" busting through the door. It was way kewl.

I had pics I had ripped from Teen Beat and Tiger Beat all over my bedroom walls until I turned 16 or so and became too sophisticated for such things. :rolleyes: I'm kind of embarrassed to mention who was on my walls, but here goes (remember, I was a teenager and didn't know any better):

Corey Haim (pre-druggie days)
Kirk Cameron
River Phoenix - I used to LOVE him
Jason Bateman - STILL love him!
New Kids on the Block, specifically Donnie because he was the "bad boy." :lol:
Bon Jovi
Tom Cruise
Ricky Schroder

Does anybody remember those "vital stats" cut-out things in the back of Tiger Beat? It had a pic on one side and facts about the star on the other.

I had my room divided in two - one side with Metal posters (Dio, Slayer, ST, Motorhead) and the other with A-ha :D

I had my walls covered in NKOTB and the guyz from 21 Jump street. My sister and I shared a room and we both loved them, so we had a competition going to see who could find better/bigger posters..... sad but true :lol:

it changed throughout the years, but I had Kiss, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, etc on my wall

In the Mid 80's it was all Duran Duran.. In the late 80's to 90's it was all Slayer... :lol:

I had a number of posters on my wall at one stage or another.

My favourite though was "the watcher" from Led Zeppelin IV. I also had a poster of the Doors and a large Map of Central Europe and Russia showing the battles of WWII on it

Maiden, Priest, Saxon, Angel, KISS, Zeppelin, Queen, etc. etc. etc.....:lol:

In the 80s it was mostly Maiden, Motley Crue, AC/DC, and OZZY posters that my older cousins would hand down to me. Later in the 80s and early 90s it was pretty much just Guns n Roses and Suicidal Tendencies posters. Oh, and a couple of Madonna posters ;)

BILLY IDOL! I was obssessed with him :drool: Also, The Cure, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran....then in the late 80's it was all punk bands, gig flyers & what not.

Def Leppard and Christian Slater. A little of Bon Jovi, and I had one wall totally covered in metal bands. Other girls were buying Tiger Beat, and such, I was buying Guitar mags and stuff.

early 80's:van halen, lita ford, steve miller band, meatloaf, and Circus Magazine Covers

late 80's: depeche mode, the cure, traci lords, oingo boingo, agent orange, the smiths

OMG... completely COVERED with Randy Rhoads (he had a wall all to himself :drool: ), Def Leppard (especially the Ricks), Motley Crue, Ratt, Van Halen, Cinderella, and a big huge "Abbey Road" poster that totally covered my door. I don't think there was a single speck of actual WALL visible.

When I was MUCH younger (pre-teen), I had Shawn Cassidy, Leif Garrett, and Donny Osmond on my walls. :lol:

I had David Bowie, ABC, Corey Hart, Duran Duran, and a Desperatley Seeking Susan movie poster.

In the Mid 80's it was all Duran Duran.. In the late 80's to 90's it was all Slayer... :lol:

Wow!! That's a radical change. From one end of the spectrum to the other.

I guess I'll answer this one although it'll be tough. Well, other than my all time guitar hero's Randy Rhoads and Steve Stevens, I had George Lynch, Glenn Tipton, KK Downing, and various others at one point or another that I liked. Also many guitar equipment stuff such as, of course, BC Rich, Randall, Marshall, DOD effects, Carvin, various others featuring Kahler or Floyd Rose tremolos, GHS Strings, etc. Basically anything that any other teenage axeman in the 80s would've had.

Also, yes, I had a Lita Ford picture on my wall in a "BC Rich Rocks The World" ad.

Oh yeah, I guess I'd better admit it. I had a pic of Yngwie also, but never EVH. :D

Lets see I had Farrah Fawcett, Heather Locklear, Heather Thomas, Samantha Fox and Tiffany for girls. I also had a 4x4 Tapestry of Poison. I'm sure there was more but can't remember them all right now.

Culture Club, Boy George, Duran Duran,Madonna, Wham George Micheals, GARFEILD! I loved that fat cat...HEHEHE....

I had posters of Madonna and Prince (from the True Blue and Purple Rain soundtracks, respectively) and Heather Thomas. For a while I also had that "How To Breakdance" poster from a K-Tel compilation. :D

Strange combination, it was Madonna, Echo & The Bunnypeeps and Joy Division.

OK guys (men), back me up on this one....Heather Thomas posters....

Might I add... shhhhaaaawiiing...

OK guys (men), back me up on this one....Heather Thomas posters....

Yep. Had one of those at one time.

Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Madonna (Mid 80's all the way into the 90's), Arnold Swarchenegger (The Terminator ~ 1984), Van Halen (Sammy Hagar ~ 1987), The Transformers (Do they count?), The Bangles (1989) and more... I share a room with one of my brothers and there were all sort of posters happening even in to the 90's.

Saddly they are all gone now... :dammit:

I still have tons of posters all over my walls: Debbie Gibson, Fleetwood Mac... just so many. Not to mention a "Ferris Bueller" and "Breakfast Club" poster, as well as a framed matted copy of the Rio cover.

Gosh during the "Big Hair Days", I had so many posters of all the different bands, you actually couldn't even see my bedroom walls, lol Also I used to own those black satin tapestries which were huge, but god I loved those things :)

I still have Bon Jovi posters all over my walls. ;)

I still have tons of posters all over my walls: Fleetwood Mac

I don't think we would have ever guessed that one in a million years EY:laugh:

http://www.spacesurfer.com/mceleb/dyn/25468/Rob_Lowe11.jpg

My favorite Rob Lowe poster for the 80's

Then I had a selection of posters from Metal Edge.

Aargh...why can't I remember what posters I had on my wall??? I hate memory lapses and they seem to be getting more and more prevalent now-a-days...

The only one I can remember is a picture from a Teen Beat magazine of John Cougar Mellencamp just coming out of the shower wrapped in a towel. It wasn't that I necessarily liked the looks of John (although there isn't anything wrong with him per se.) I think it's just I liked clean men. :laugh: :laugh:

The only reason I remember this one is my 10-years-older cousin (who was around 24 at the time) came and stayed overnight. She slept in my bed while I slept on the living room floor. In the morning she was complaining about waking up and John was staring her right in the face. lol oh well. Can't please everyone I guess.

HI guys, I'm new and this is my first post on this awesome 80xchange =-)

Well back then, they *were* all that! Who knew?

Welcome to the xchange, I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do. :)

In the early eighties it was all about the Karate Kid. :lol:

Then I graduated to Prince and Michael Jackson. I remember one MJ poster where he was wearing this lemon yellow sweater vest outfit. I had the Prince "Purple Rain" fold out from the album of the same name as well.

Oh, and in the very late seventies I had the "Grease" poster that was a close up of Sandy (post transformation) and Danny, and ALSO the color by numbers version of the same picture that I colored laboriously with magic markers.

In 1989 when I went off to college I had G n R, Led Zeppelin, the Stones and a HUGE ASS poster of Bob Marley.

I saw a pic of me in my room in the early 80's, and there's a poster of Tony Danza without a shirt on. I don't remember it, though.
I should have had a Han Solo poster. :bouncy:

Hendrix, Led Zep,The Who, Rush,Thin Lizzy

BILLY IDOL
I use to write to his fan club and send him love letters and birthday and christmas cards from the time I was 12 to about 15 giggles, I was obsessed with Billy. My nickname at Jr. Highschool was Billy's Barbie, LOL)

& MICHAEL HUTCHENCE OF INXS
(He was so sexy!!!! I was crushed when he died...)

;)

In 1980 I was 13, guess I considered myself too 'old and mature' for posters hanging on my walls. :no: I had black light pics and beads and stuff. But in the 70's I had Leif Garrett hanging above my bed on the ceiling and Shawn Cassidy on the back of my bedroom door. I have never gotten over my love affair with Leif. :eek:

When i lived at home I had a ton of pictures of Platinum Blonde on my walls (especially Mark Holmes) also had a Jon Bon Jovi pic hanging above my bed, Randy Rhoads and Loverboy
When i moved out I still had pics of Platinum Blonde, but added huge posters of U2, Echo and the Bunnymen and a whole lot of posters of local bar bands posters signed (which i still have!!!)

It's sad that Leif chose the way of the loser. He was a talented guy at one time. I'm shocked he's still alive.

I had Sheena Easton on my walls - nice to have such a beautiful woman staring down at me!!!!

OMG..WHO DIDN'T I HAVE??? I was a major buyer of ALL teen magazines..let me see..
The Coreys, TV Studs Kirk Cameron, Michael J.Fox, The Brat Pack (Rob Lowe was such a major hottie!!!) Ralph Macchio, Bon Jovi, Don Johnson,
RIVER PHOENIX (RIP, BABY!!) and tons more.
I just recently visited a childhood friend and she saved all her posters. We were having a blast looking through them! I was like..Oooh, I had that one..and that one. Nothing like reminiscing!!

Lets see I had Farrah Fawcett, Heather Locklear, Heather Thomas, Samantha Fox and Tiffany for girls. .
Had a lot of those same ones!Farrah's original red bathing suit(Kind of started them all for those type) Heather L looking oh so cute in her workout outfit! Samantha in a wet t-shirt/bikini bottom and Heather T in her famous pink bikini in the hot tub! :mwaha: :mwaha: :mwaha: :mwaha: :lol:
Music groups like Styx ,Fleetwood Mac,Chicago,Journey! :clap:
Black Light posters including a massive close up of cat's eyes.a castle.hypnotic design and two monsters(winged elehant with claws thing & some kind of sea serpent) fighting! :fight:
Also had some movie posters including St. Elmo's Fire I put a LP poster of Billy Idol up next to it as a tribute to Demi's apartment wall massive painting w/lite earring in the movie! ;)

I had a six foot poster of Stevie Nicks ... ahhhh many great dreams with her watching over me. ;) :D

I had the Bangles and Debbie Gibson all over my walls. I was so in love with Suzanna Hoffs it almost came to the point of obsession! I had posters, sheet music, I was in their fan club. I was extremly upset when they broke up. :bigcry: I played their album over and over again. I recorded their videos and watched them over and over again. I guess I really needed a life huh? :4psycho:

I had a poster of 'Heather Thomas' from The Fall Guy. She was in this bikini standing in a room atop a building against a NYC backdrop at night.

I had Dukes of Hazzard pillowcase covers. I had them pinned to my bedroom wall. These days, i got a few lovely posters of 'Victoria Silvstedt' on my wall ;)

Michael Jackson, Wham!, Michael J. Fox and later New Kids on the Block.

NKOTB was the big one. My walls were completely covered and I had all the merchandise!

Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, & Kiss posters on the walls. On the back of the door I had a poster of Cheryl Tiegs and had numerous other hottie pics on my walls as well. Babes like Katherine Bach (Daisy), Lonnie Anderson, etc.... I also had one of my heros on the wall, Walter Payton, to this day he is still my all time favorite athlete.....

I am a HUGE Def Leppard fan and had their posters all over my walls and doors in my room. I also had individual pics of Joe Elliott ( my heart throb ) on my school book covers and in my locker in high school.

Farrah Fawcett, Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Van Halen, and Twisted Sister. That was pretty much it .. Madonna by far had the most real estate in my room!

I didn't have a lot of posters on my walls in the 80's (I got into that in the early 90's), but I think I had a few Queen posters... and I did have a Michael Jackson poster too in the late 80s :lol:

First and foremost, Duran Duran! I was Duran crazy,still am! I also had posters of Corey Haim, Michael Hutchence, Motley Crue, Kirk Cameron, The Bangles and Michael J Fox I believe! :lol:

I used to have beatles pics on my wall in elementary school. Then black sabbath/pink floyd.

Now in my old age (21), ive moved on to some duran duran . :thumb:

Heres a pic of my simon lebon poster thats on my door.(its on ebay right now for 1799)

I had Kiss / Aerosmith / Rolling Stones / Peter Frampton / AC-DC.... There was a time when I had to place posters cover up the "HOLES" in my walls from my friend punching them... its too long of a stoyr to explain.. but hell if it is not a FUNNY STORY!!! hahaha

Oh man, I had LOTS of people up- Janet Jackson, the Facts of Life girls, Valerie Bertenelli, the cast of Dallas... I wish I could think of them all right now, but my walls were always full!

I don't think I had celebrity posters on my wall. What I did have were large collages of movie posters. Some I got from friends that worked in the theatre and some I cut out from magazines and mounted to posterboard. I have a few of the movie theatre posters rolled up somewhere in a closet.

Madison :)

Wow...who DIDN'T I have on my wall??? I had a Dirty Dancing poster of course, New Kids on the Block (Joe was my favotite lol), Corey Haim, Leonardo DiCaprio (when he was 15 or something like that), Kirk Cameron, Mark Paul Gosslar, Mario Lopez (Saved by the Bell)...there were tons more but I can't remember them. My walls were plastered with pictures.

After a while I replaced all that stuff with Def Leppard, Metallica, Bon Jovi and Guns N Roses...the Dirty Dancing poster survived the transition though lol.

Never really had that many posters on my wall. I remember having two Led Zeppelin posters and a 3D werewolf towel that was pretty cool.

On my bedroom wall there were three posters. First one was Kajagoogoo, it came with the TV guide and I thought the guys looked pretty cool.

The other two where Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. That was something that was simply not done. You where a fan of Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet, but I liked them both!
I think the gap between Duran Duran fans and Spandau Ballet fans has cleared over the years.

INXS and Michael Hutchence...everywhere...with BIG poster in front of my bed, and when I woke up.......hmmmmm... Michael :* :licky: :love: :yesnod: He was soooo sweet and sexy. I still love him very much.

Hi Luci:

Michael is one of my all time favorites as well and I too had him plastered on my walls from the ages of about 12 to 16. I had a memorial page on my Former Angel Website for a while. Great taste you have. He was a hottie and he is very missed by many.

Hi, yes we both have great taste, Michael was amazing, wasn´t he? :yesnod: I am glad to meet here someone, who share my opinion and who had same obsession as I :) :happy: You have right, he is very missed, but he still lives in our hearts and memories.

Glad you're here Luci. Hope you're enjoying the Xchange!!!! :)

Thanx, of course I´m enjoying the Xchange :)

I had quite a few large posters of Madonna on my wall back in the 80s! :love: I also framed quite a few covers from Rolling Stone and Star Hits magazines. :)

I couldn't list them all because my room was COVERED in posters, I even had them on the ceiling!!!!!
But the main ones were Bon Jovi, Jeremy Jordan :lol: and Bon Jovi :)

I'd have a gigantic one of Han Solo on my walls right now if I saw one. lol.

I remember my dorm room in '89 had a really cool one of Peter Murphy, Jim Morrison and a big black and white one of Robert Smith, which a friend and I defaced while laughing and a bit intoxicated. We had to make it look more goth, so we added cobwebs to his hair with a spider hanging down, among other details. It's a 'you had to be there thing.' :rolleyes::lol:

Too many to count. The sad thing was that I would often overlapped the corners of my posters to make others fit.

I remember my first poster was of The Who. It was very non threatening to my parents and was my initial step in making my room, actually MY ROOM. Then over the years there was Metallica, Ozzy, Ninja Turtles, Marilyn Monroe and Megadeth.

When I was twelve I was allowed to redecoate my room and it had a very sophisticated look, the movie poster of The Neverending Story and one Limahl poster. Before that it was mayhem. Kajagoogoo, Visage - and since we're confessing although probably only the Europeans will know something about this - Shakin' Stevens. Billy Idol and movie posters. We moved around a lot and travelled so I'd always get my friends to trade with me.

In the mideighties we stayed in an apartment for a while where I wasn't allowed to paint the walls so I retaliated by covering my whole space in posters: Kirk Cameron, Corey Haim, Menudo, Some Dallas, Anthony Delon (son of actor Alain Delon) and A-ha and Billy Idol. Those are the oens I can remember. There were just too many to keep track of.

My walls had the Sid Vicious poster that came with his album and the Smiths.

I had one of Corey Haim on a motorcycle and alot of posters and pin-ups of New Kids On The Block.

Boy was I weird. At various times over junior high and high school I had posters of:
Prince from Purple Rain
Devo
KISS
Michael Jackson
ELO
Garfield
Andy Gibb
the infamous Farrah Red Swimsuit poster
Beatles
One of those black light posters
Scott Baio (I'm SO not proud of that) :no:

I couldn't list them all because my room was COVERED in posters, I even had them on the ceiling!!!!!
But the main ones were Bon Jovi, Jeremy Jordan :lol: and Bon Jovi :)

Yes someone else who had jeremy jordan, I thought i'd be the only one lol :lol:
I also had Everything New Kids On the Block mostly Jordan he was my fave.
I was really young in the 80's so all i remember mostly was NKOTB i had the bedding the bath towels literally everything lol :lol: :clap: :lol:

I had Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Andrew Ridgeley, Tears For Fears
