None of the above, I did have a crush on Lindsay Wagner though. She kicked arse. She was so pretty. I wanted to look like her, and also the girl in Mod Squad. Most of all I had a little girl crush on Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. I think his long hair did it.

Of the ones listed, I loved Donny Osmond.
But, my true favorites, were John Denver, Andy Gibb and John-Boy Walton.

Remember that episode when he fell in love for the first time, that weird girl with the big eyes? I remember he was dating her irl. But I remember just thinking it was the cutest, most romantic episode ever.

I loved her, I used to run to watch the beginning of The Mod Squad and that was all I was allowed to watch most of the time because IIRC, it came on after my bed time, lol.

Honestly I like the ( way to Old) older guys that flew planes(or spacecraft).
Richard hatch, dirk benedick, walter koening. Jan Michael Vincent.
Dirk benedick covered my entire wall. OMG how old was he, in his 30's? What the hell were my parents thinking? I would have never let my pre pre teen do that.
One the other hand , I was in love with a boy 11 years older than me. I was 5. I told everybody on the bus we were going to get married. I feel so bad for him , but I remember he was always so nice. I cried buckets the day he got married. I was 11, I really thought he would wait for me. I think that is why I never had crushes on pop stars.

It is not possible to be any cooler 😊 Definitely not 😉. I did crush on Michael Cole and always think of Peggy Lipton when I see Rashida Jones on TV.

I clicked on Leif from the list but when I look at his pictures from way back then I think, "What the hell was I thinking?" Ick.

Donny Osmond! I wasn't allowed to "waste" money on heartthrob magazines. But I did paint my room purple and had purple sheets on my bed.

I thought Shawn Cassidy was pretty fine, but transferred my affections to John Travolta once Saturday Night Fever came out.

You guys have totally missed the boat here...my tween crush?? Harrison Ford ALL. THE. WAY. Showed up with a growly chewbacca and a black leather jacket and my heart was forever in the bad boy camp. Think Fonzie, John Travolta in Grease...and ooooohhhhh, don't forget Dr. Johnny Fever himself. Bad boys and musicians. Not clean cut heart throbs for me.

Okay, I'll tell you my deepest, darkest secret if you promise not to tell anyone. I love the song I Think I Love You. And my first male teen idol was James Darren from Gidget.

My favourite teen idol from the 70s wasn't on the poll because the options were all American and my idol was Australian! I chose Peter Brady because of the options listed on the poll, he was my favourite. When I was 7 (in 1974) I was in love with Graeme "Shirley" Strachan from the band Skyhooks. I even day dreamed that he would divorce his wife and marry me when I was old enough. That's him in the middle with the curly hair:

Davy Jones. I loved the Monkees Saturday morning tv show. I loved the Monkees too, and even though Davy Jones was super cute, Micky Dolenz was my favourite.

I was out of college by then but I voted John Travolta because I saw Saturday Night Fever at least 7-8 times. Loved the music and the dancing. Didn't like the female star at all. Didn't she totally ruin the movie for you? I swear, as good as he was in it, I always wind up being so distracted by my hate of Stephanie Mangano and her stupid accent. <shudder> That actress originally played Tara Martin on All My Children in its first seasons. I'll never forget the scene where she and Phil Brent (Richard Hatch), the night before he went to Vietnam, went to a church and 'in the eyes of God' married each other and then had sex and she got pregnant with Little Phil. Erica Kane and Tara were in high school together. This was in 1970. I remember when Sat Night Fever came out I couldn't accept her in the role because to me she was Tara Martin. I still hate her as Stephanie. No chemistry and her dancing was not good to me.

Davy Jones Was my first love possibly tying for first place with Michael Jackson then Donny Osmond and David Cassidy. I’m still a huge Michael Jackson fan. Maurice Gibb, Dennis Wilson, Graham Hicks, Stevie Winwood and Peter Frampton were all pretty cute too. Showing my age, I bet many don’t have a clue who they were. I know all of them

Loved him and that show. How could I forget my late 80's crush as well...John Stamos. He is still a huge babe.

I voted for Shaun, but I crushed on a few of these guys. I really think Andy Gibb should be on this list, though. "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" is one of my favorite songs to this day. I would have picked Andy if he'd been on the list.

Okay, I'll tell you my deepest, darkest secret if you promise not to tell anyone. I love the song I Think I Love YouI have that plus "I Can Hear Your heartbeat" as well as "That's Rock N Roll" by Shaun Cassidy on my current Echo playlist. I hear them about once a week or so - they never get old. I thought David Cassidy was cute, but I didn't really have a crush on him, from the list the closest I came to crush was probably Leif Garrett. My main crush during my teen years was Suzi Quatro - my walls were totally covered in pictures of her. I was devastated when she toured and my parents wouldn't let me go and see her...of course I was way to young to be going to any rock concert, but I thought they were being horribly unfair at the time. Nothing like a woman in leather! I was quite obsessed with her look and her music for a long time. My dress style still has elements of rock chick. Paved the way for my future (and ongoing) Madonna crush.

As a 13 year old in 1974, it was definitely Donny and David who covered large areas of my walls. My first ever concert was The Osmonds, but my parents would not let me go to the David Cassidy concert when they heard of the tragic death of a girl at one of his concerts. 1975 saw an Aussie called John Paul Young join them on the walls, along with David Essex. But Donny was my first true pop idol crush. He is still an incredibly handsome man, and I admit to going on you-tube to watch him when I am home alone
