What posters did you have on your wall as a teen? Now? I had a saying "If you don't know

[applegrove]

where you're going you'll probably end up somewhere else" on a poster on my wall as a teen. I thought it was hilarious. I thought I might have put up a centerfold of Shawn Cassidy on my wall but I don't think I had the guts to actually tell the world "I like Shawn". I was too repressed. Now I have posters and pictures of homes/gardens/nature and nature on my wall. One painting I love by Emily Carr I still have to hang after 3 years: [IMG][/IMG]

1. Black light posters in late teens.

[pintobean]

8. In the darkness down the hall

Black-light posters on the wall
Jimi Hendrix
Someones lost in yesterday
Hazey dreams of Monterrey.... and Woodstock

[Hoyt]

13. Good song, but never was much for musicians with confederate flag stuff.

[arcane1]

2. Kiss eventually gave way to Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, etc...

Although Shawn Cassidy preceded Kiss

[nolabear]

3. Jim Morrison. And the Earth from the moon. And a really, really big frog.

I still drool over that Jim Morrison photo.

[Silver Gaia]

18. Oh yes, me, too! Jim Morrison in black leather pants...

I remember getting in a fight with my mom over that poster and she tried to rip it down off my wall. LOL (It stayed.)

[Manifestor_of_Light]

44. I would have answered "Mom, so you want me to start looking at girls? Is that it?"

That might shut her up, I don' t know.

[Aristus]

4. This one:

She got me through puberty...

[Iggo]

9. Yup.

[hibbing]

10. me too

Hi,
Was hoping this one would be on here.

Peace

[Aristus]

15. My next-door neighbor's son gave me that poster.

It turns out that it, along with all of his other sexy-lady posters, were his beard. He came out as gay much later on when we were both in our thirties. Oh well, I got Cheryl Tiegs out of the deal...

[LancetChick]

5. No posters.

Nuthin'. I still don't decorate my walls unless someone does it for me, or makes me do it myself. I have a picture of myself as a teen sitting on my bed, and seeing the bare wall behind me is kind of depressing now that I actually notice it.

[pintobean]

6. MFM

[MiddleFingerMom]

16. Redundant -- a poster poster. Though this was second in popularity only to Farrah Fawcett.

[nolabear]

33. Look out! (S)H'es gonna blow!!!

Lord have mercy; that might keep many a teenager from getting pregnant right there.

[harmonicon]

7. Mostly band posters.

The Cure, Love and Rockets, Echo and the Bunnymen, Bauhaus. I also had some car pictures, and a Rene Magritte poster.

[Sedona]

11. 1974-1977 ish

On edit...Jon Hamm thinks he has a junk issue?



and I wore this on a t shirt

[lastlib]

12. Like every other teenage boy, Farrah Fawcett:

(had to hang it on the back of my door so my mom wouldn't see it......)

[talkingmime]

27. Yeah, that one. I liked the nips.

[nolabear]

34. That one was famously on lab walls at Duke U, always above the boxes labeled "Steel Nipples"

The nipples were for critter cages. Some of the critters that needed caging got PhDs.

[Go Vols]

52. +1

[olddots]

14. J.S. Bach and Olive Oil

[Art_from_Ark]

51. I had a Beethoven poster

and a St. Louis Cardinals pennant.

[nomorenomore08]

17. I was a metal kid. Had a Slayer poster and a Pantera one.

nt

[tblue]

19. Desiderata.

That's all I can remember.

[lastlib]

41. I always liked National Lampoon's "Deteriorata"....

I still ROFL at "Rotate Your Tires."

Oh, yes: "Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate."

A positively brilliant piece of humor writing for the ages!

[pinboy3niner]

20. graywarrior

But the duct tape didn't hold and she got away. Took all the duct tape with her, too...

[applegrove]

21. LOL!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

22. Jimi

I bought several posters of Jimi Hendrix including ones at a concert where I got right up at the stage just a couple of feet from him and took his picture (I still have the photos in a chest). My Hendrix posters were all on my wall surrounding my Marshall 100 watt stack that I bought in England. I used to talk to them while practicing my guitar.

[nolabear]

35. Oh Lord, if ever I wanted anyone to post pics...

[Thegonagle]

23. A map of the moon, a print of Saturn

taken by one of the Voyager missions, a world map, a poster of the electromagnetic spectrum (including radio frequencies as allocated by the FCC and other agencies), and an 8.5 x 11 periodic table of the elements pinned to my bulletin board.

[zipplewrath]

29. Likewise

And a poster of the Apollo 11 crew as well.

[marzipanni]

24. This, from a gin ad in the New Yorker magazine

and I painted some faces on the wall, and put up psychedelic concert handbills




Apparently the ad was also up at an airport where Bob and Joan posed beside it.

[jmowreader]

25. This one takes explaining

The caption read "Don't Tread On Me."

The art was a cat on top of a car tire.

[talkingmime]

26. Oh my. Farret Fawsett in the red swim suit, black light posters all over the place,...

The Fonz, "Oh SHIT!" (train falling off a bridge), "I must be a mushroom. They keep me in the dark and feed me nothing but bullshit", an architectural drawing of "How to build a hamburger", a couple of other chicks in nearly naked states (but not at all, really), "Oh Hell, It's Monday" (kitteh), and about 30 others. They're all in a flat box in the basement. Yes, I'm sick, I still have them all.

[sinkingfeeling]

28. Here's a couple....

[Chan790]

[IMG][/IMG]

[Paladin]

38. McQueen, about to bike-jump the fence in "The Great Escape" (nt)

As a child/teenager, I was not allowed to hang posters of any kind on my walls.

[IcyPeas]

42. Marc Bolan (T. Rex)

[IMG][/IMG]

[Manifestor_of_Light]

43. The Who (Right before their last album came out in '78) and "Young Frankenstein".

Mom said "They look like a bunch of bums". I said, "Well, they are talented wealthy bums."

She didn't get Young Frankenstein. She said "That's horrible." I said, "Mom, it's a silly movie. It's not a serious horror movie."

Mom was square and never got over it.

[Moondog]

45. A couple of M.C. Escher prints,

a photograph of a couple of copulating swine that was captioned "Makin' Bacon", and a send-up of a bunch of stoned looking Disney characters sitting around a hookah that was captioned "Ain't Gonna Work on Dizzy's Farm No More."

What can I say? It was the late 60s . . . .

[Boomerproud]

46. I had a one of John Lennon and David Cassidy

and my brother had one where an old lady in a rocking chair was smoking a joint. Ironically, he never even smoked a cigarette. I also remember "War Is Not Healthy for Children and Other Living Things."

[Bertha Venation]

47. I was one confused little lesbian.

I had a huge poster of Donny Osmond's face on the wall to the right of my pillow. I would kiss those gigantic teeth every night before I went to sleep.

o_O

Yes, one confused little lesbian.

[Throd]

48. A fuzzy blacklight poster of a Victorian tree house

[Aristus]

50. This one!:

My sister had it on her wall, too.

[Demo_Chris]

49. None. Mom didn't approve of posters. :(

[Go Vols]

53. My walls were covered

but this was a huge one on the wall.

[laundry_queen]

54. Well this is fucking embarrassing

Kirk Fucking Cameron. LOL.

This one:
[URL=/][IMG][/IMG][/URL]


Hey now, it was the 80's. And Kirk, bless his heart, was soon replaced with Metallica, Skid Row and G'nR.

Right now - no posters. Nothing on the walls at all - just moved into a new place. I'll probably make my own art, or get my kids to make stuff - they are all very artistic and take art in their schools and come up with amazing things.

[olddots]

55. I actually had James Brown at the Appolo

Folk singer Caroline Hester (8X10 ) Muddy Waters , Billie Holliday and a few others obscure stuff

[HarveyDarkey]

56. I was (still am) an Escher fan

this was up for a long while:
