It has to be a celeb of the time.
For me it was Claire Grogan. Who you ask? Gregory's Girl - or Altered Images if that rings bells.
A bit later (18 or so) on it was Sharleen Spiteri (Texas before they got famous) but then again I did sort of know her at the time. She wouldn't have looked twice at me though :(
Embarrassing or what?
Go on then peeps, who did it for you (and maybe still does)?
-
Well I bet I know who Floydoid will say ;)
For me, well, there was Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (and yes I'd still be tempted now) and that chap in Bless This House - and no not Sid James!! He obviously made a lasting impression because I can't remember his name now :-[
-
Aren't Plant & Page touring again? ;)
-
it was the king himself, Love me Tender sending shivers down my adolescent spine - oops, is my age showing :P
-
Helen Shapiro! I was quite trendy in them days. 8)
Say-no-more. :P

Don't start!
There will be a second ballot so I've not given up hope yet - but divide 20,000 by 1,000,000 and tell me the odds.
On second thoughts, don't :-X :'(
-
No no I didn't mean that. I just meant maybe its not too late to be a groupie ;) :P
Or is that what you meant? ;)
-
Not sure about anything else but we seem to have reasonable musical taste (not entirely convinced by Helen Shapiro though :P )

Well, I'm definitely too old to be a groupie :D
I was talking about the one-off reunion charity concert on 26 November and the furore sparked by Harvey Goldsmiths effors to stop tickets being sold on eBay.
But hey, it's not all bad, I booked tickets for Jethro Tull yesterday :dance:
-
I was in love with Brenda Lee. "Rockin' around the Christmas tree" really sent shivers up my spine. There was a picture of bluebells in a wood on the wall of our front room, and I used to imagine walking through that wood hand in hand with her. :-[

Let me tell you songs from the wood... to make you feel much better....*
Nice one. They are music from a time I shouldn't have been interested in but I was.
As an aside do you all (regardless of age) find it easier to keep up with music these days? I have to say I don't - I get drowned in media now and frankly little of it now makes an impact on me. I suspect our kids deal better with it than me but I'm not sure.
*one of my favourite albums - yes vinyl - ever
PS - little bit "tipsy" just now so forgive typos and thread derailments :)
-

Do you know I can't honestly remember who I fancied at 14... I didn't discover Curved Air till I was 15.
-
Can I have 2 please .......Billy Fury ..... he of Half Way to Paradise fame!! AND Gregory Peck, even at the tender age of 14 I loved him and I have loved him ever since!!! ::)

I don't make huge efforts to keep up with modern stuff - Radio 2, despite its (IMO) fuddy-duddy image, plays enough from the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Radiohead, Snow Patrol etc as they are released, I watch Kerrang! when I can at the weekends which keeps me up with the heavier rock, I get the occasional prod on Myspace from new/unsigned bands and if they list sensible artists as their influences I'll give them a listen and add them to my friends list, plus I am on various forums where music is a common topic (or game!) and have made some good (again IMO) discoveries I would otherwise have missed.
I know that someone will come along and say 'Steve Wright/Chris Evans' in response to 'fuddy-duddy'- but IMO they should both still be on Radio 1 with the kids (and besides, I like fuddy-duddy :P)
Must admit, I can empathise more with the "turn that rubbish off, call that music" which was a common phrase when I was 14 8)

That would of been 2002 i guess, i think back then it was just some of the girls in our year, wasnt one of those peeps who cared two things for celebs.
-
>> Claire Grogan.
No I remember her... but I really cant think who I had a crush on when I was 14.
When I was a bit younger it was david essex for a while.
Ive never been one who fawns big time over pop + movie stars though.
I know one guy who I did think was yum was nick rhodes.. whilst my mates used to rate simon le bon. Must have been the eyeliner that did it for me :D
Oooh someone that made me go mhmmm - Tony Hadley.
-
Lol - I cant remember who I fancied at 14.. I was trying to look up some of the 1994 charts... and could hardly remember any of them, let alone those I fancied :P
I think around that time I did have a major crush on a girl in my tutor group at school, unfortunately it wasn't reciprocated :( lol
-
I do remember that around the age of 16 or so there were 3 singers I was crazy about (and not just for their musical talents) - Sonja Kristina (surprise surprise), Suzi Quatro, and Lynsey de Paul. I do also remember having a soft (?) spot for Lesley-Anne Down in Upstairs, Downstairs.
-
Ahahaha I lost all respect for Suzi when she appeared in "Minder" with Dennis Waterman and the pair of them pretended spiky green plastic bits were "bad" cannabis :D and he said "Stop smoking that ****!" Yes indeed plastic is bad for your health :P
I had forgotten about Lesley Anne Down though (is there a drool icon :P )

lol - brilliant :D
-
When I was 14, I fancied Miss Betts, our history teacher. You could see her stocking tops on a good day!!
After that I fancied anything that wore a skirt (apart from Scottish men).

I was going to type something - but then changed my mind :-X
