This may age some of us, but who were your favorite teen idols!!??

Mine were John Denver and Harry Chapin (Cats in the Cradle) who have, very sadly, both passed away.

OK and I admit, I liked the Bay City Rollers!!!!!!!!!

Peace,train

I also liked the Bay City Rollers, Train, the lead singer was so cute. ;-)

John Snider [remember him from the Duke's]

Elvis [of course]

I think my biggest crush on a celebrity when I was a teenager would have to be......Bobby Sherman! He was IT for me for many years! ;-)

I, too, liked the Bay City Rollers and K.C. & the Sunshine Band.

I know that I must have had at least 1-2 more but my mind is foggy right now. Oh well, maybe I'll remember them later or someone else will post them and it will jiggle my memory!

i also loved the Bay City Rollers but also had that so bad for
Donny Osmond who lived on posters in my room as well as Leif
Garrett and John Travolta who still lives in my heart!!!
I think John has been getting better as he is aging!!!

Michael Nesmith of the Monkees, the only musician in the bunch! And Peter Frampton!

I had a thing for David Cassidy - went to one of his concerts when I was about 12 - also loved Bobby Sherman. Not the Bay City Rollers.

Hey! I remember him also. I loved Elvis. Yes I am from back then too. Which was a very good time to be from. They were all good back then.

They included:

Johnny Gage (Randolph Mantooth on Emergency - I started very early )
