Who was your favourite 'teenybopper' act?

When Marc Bolan got down on his knees for the Mystic Lady, I don't think it was to propose.

 

New Edition ....

 

one of the first was Leif Garrett

 

These guys had a UK TV show aimed at the Teen market

 

Not really a teenybopper act but for me being young I was in love with Olivia Newton John in the early 80s.

 

Leif Garrett
Racey
ACDC (yes)
David Cassidy
Kiss
Abba
Status Quo

 

i did as well for a bit anyway!. saw them live twice here in the states.once at the "height" of their usa popularity i am guessing early 70's played in front of a few thousand people at the spectrum in philadelphia. then a couple of years later they played in front of maybe two hundred folks at the tower theater in upper darby.it holds a bit over 3000. they came out and played a rocking show!

 

I started buying records in 1972 when aged 10 and the stuff I bought that year were:

T. Rex Telegram Sam 7”
Paul Simon Mother and Child Reunion 7”
Jackson 5 Looking Through the Windows 7”
Diana Ross Supremes & Temptations TCB LP
Elton John Honky Chateau LP
Simon and Garfunkel Greatest Hits LP
Motown Chartbusters Vol 7 LP
Elton John Crocodile Rock 7”
Elton John Daniel 7”

So of that lot I guess you would include T. Rex, Elton John and Jackson 5 as teenybopper stuff.

 

That is fantastic. Hadn't heard it before.

 

Weren’t we all.

 

When i was a kid i were into Creedence, Beatles, Pink floyd, Ramones, Green day, Nirvana, Red hot, RATM, Blink 182, Misfits, Bad religion, NOFX...And brazilian Engenheiros do hawaii and Legião urbana.

 

The Beatles...

 

just picked a huge box of teen mags circa 1968/69 ...amazing how the Doors were featured as much the Stones , Monkees and Beatles ...also seeing quite a bit of Zeppelin in some of these issues...

 

Great bunch of records there. 1972 was a great year.

 

My sister listened Bay City Rollers and Slik for a short time.The latter was slightly better.
This was my favorite.
Suzi Quatro - Your Mama Won't Like Me

 

The Beatles
ABBA

 

This might be the first time Slik are mentioned in this thread.

 

Having seen the photo should I be afraid?

 

Cartoons:

Beatles
Archies
Josie & The Pussycats
(On earth or in outer space)

 

2 good singles in Forever & Ever and Requiem.

And a good starting ground for Midge Ure, of course.

 

My teenage listening habits aren't so different from my listening habits now, many decades later. My pre-teen days were soundtracked by TV and Film stuff and Glam Rock. The usual suspects: Slade, T-Rex, Sweet, Suzi-Q. I wasn't in a position to buy records then though.

 

Ok so only the visual is mildly worrying.

 

The Banana Splits

 

I'll add Herman's Hermits to my previous listing of the Monkees
