If you were a teen in the late sixties and on you probably had posters...sports people, Farrah Fawcett, blacklight, cartoons, and of course Rawk and Roll! What ones do you remember or remember having?

My music taste is all over the map, always was...I had a huge close up of the Ian Hunter picture. I swear my Mom would circle to avoid that poster if she ventured in my room. She HATED that picture. Elton, I adored Elton. Mick and Keef of course. Tommy Bolin was talented as all get out, but heroin is a very bad thing. And Carly was a girl crush.

I think as a teen the only poster of a person I boutht was a Bruce Lee poster, Enter of The Dragon, otherwise, I had either art posters or some psychedelic type posters. Later I had mostly fashion, art, theater stuff on my walls.
 
I only had one. There was a garage band a few doors down that later became rather famous. I was sneaking in to watch them play. I had a signed poster from them. When my very protective father found out I was sneaking in to watch them play he marched down the street and told them how old I was & came back and jerked my poster off the wall & told me I wasn't allowed to have anymore posters. My poor Dad LOL
 
My poor Dad LOL
I was just thinking the same thing. Our poor parents in general...jeez. My Mom had so much on her plate besides me being a pain in the butt teen. I didn't really understand Warhol, but it was cool to at least pretend to. She just saw yet another freaky deaky bad influence. It must have been so hard for her though. She was a teen in the 1930's and here she was facing my brother the hippie and posters of Ian Hunter.
 
Oh, well do I remember. I bought a black-light flocked poster that showed the outline of a couple on their knees, embracing. Nothing nasty, but it was pretty obvious they were...gasp....naked. It said "Come on baby, light my fire".

It lasted hanging on my wall about two days before my dad saw it. That was the end of THAT poster.
 
I didn't have them until I got to college, but then had several blacklight posters. At least one of them Disney would not have approved of as it showed many of his beloved characters engaged in all manner of sexual activities. It was shocking....and for a freshman in college.....a way to show my new found independence. Hey, it was the early 70s.
 
Yes, that's what it was I meant by psychedelic poster, I had a couple of those black light posters, at least I think I did, someone did, let me see, I can't feel my face.

LOL. That reminds me of the time I visited my sons first apartment with my ex. My ex told my son " Take that off the wall ! Your MOTHER is in here!" LOL
 
Bo Derek, probably one all-time favorite of mine, about 1978. I collected Playboy centerfolds like other guys did baseball cards! My first wife was completely tolerant of them, she having a born artistic flair. But, (sigh), not so the second time around.......imp
 
I didn't have any posters. I can't even recall seeing a poster till my kids had some and that was probably in the 80s. I did cut pics out of catalogs and magazines and attach them to my wall. I can't recall if I used tape or pins or what. Mostly they were fashion models. Sears and Wards catalogs were my friends. :)

I had big colour posters all over my walls when I was a teen . Donny Osmond, David Cassidy, Slade, Mud, David Essex..T-rex, The Sweet, all the chart toppers of my youth at the time..
 
I had no heroes so never bothered with posters. Even if I had wanted to put some up I would have been forbidden to mess up the walls of my bedroom with them.
 
I was a teen in the late 60's, but I shared a room with my older sister and we had different taste. I didn't get to put up any posters.
 
Back in the 60's, most my posters were of the various bands and singers. One of the best sources was a girls' magazine called 'Jackie'. It used to trouble my mother that I should buy a girls' mag. She probably thought that I was 'queer' (the word 'gay' wasn't used back then), but boy's mags were mostly about footmall, secret agents, war etc..

The posters gradually changed to cars, motorbikes, guitars etc..

I guess I overlooked the 60's part, all my going on's were in 70's, I hit teen numbers till '71 than I was 13, so it was more like mid 70's my real shenanigans began.:D
