Who Was on Your Wall, Lawrence County? A Trip Down Teen Idol Lane

We asked y’all to take a stroll down memory lane and tell us: Which celebrity defined your youth? And whew, the comment section delivered. From dreamy ’70s singers to boy band icons and blacklight posters that still haunt your old bedroom, the answers were as fun and wide-ranging as the decades they came from.

So cue up your favorite mixtape, grab a Pepsi in a glass bottle, and let’s count down the stars who had y’all swooning, scribbling names in notebooks, and plastering your bedroom walls with teen mag clippings.

📦 #10: Jonathan Taylor Thomas (JTT)

The king of the ’90s Tiger Beat era. Whether you loved him as Simba or Randy on Home Improvement, JTT had the hearts of many.

🎸 #9: Bon Jovi

With that iconic hair and voice that could belt out “Livin’ on a Prayer,” Jon Bon Jovi earned wall space and hearts across the board.

🕺 #8: Michael Jackson

From glitter gloves to moonwalk magic, MJ was more than a pop star — he was a phenomenon. Several of you had him up beside kittens or Michael J. Fox!

🎤 #7: The Boy Band Bundle

Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, 98 Degrees — take your pick. Whether you were Team Nick, Team Justin, or Team Donnie Wahlberg, the late ’90s/early 2000s were a glitter-gelled golden age for pop crushes.

🎶 #6: David Cassidy

A classic teen idol. Some of y’all had both Cassidy brothers, but David was clearly the poster prince of his day.

🎸 #5: Leif Garrett

Golden locks, leather jackets, and a voice that made hearts melt. Leif was practically required bedroom wall decor in the ’70s.

🎤 #4: Andy Gibb

With Bee Gees charm and solo stardom, Andy was a frequent flyer in your posters, dreams, and record players.

💜 #3: Donny Osmond

From “Puppy Love” to the Donny & Marie show, this clean-cut crooner had y’all swooning — and he still holds a top spot in hearts today.

🎶 #2: New Kids on the Block (NKOTB)

Step by step, these guys climbed right to the top of your walls. Donnie Wahlberg was the standout name, but let’s be honest — you loved ’em all. And yes, we know you still know the choreography.

🎶 Honorable Mentions
Kirk Cameron, Corey Haim, Rob Lowe, Prince, Erik Estrada, Tom Jones, Scott Baio, Patrick Swayze, Leonardo DiCaprio, George Strait — and even… a couple of collies 🐶 (shoutout Julia Kathleen!).

⭐ #1: Shaun Cassidy

The ultimate heartthrob! Y’all flooded the comments with love for Shaun — his feathered hair, Hardy Boys smile, and chart-topping tunes clearly left a mark. If your bedroom didn’t have at least one poster of Shaun, were you even a teen in the ’70s?

💬 What Did We Learn?
