Well, this is a bit embarrassing, but one of my first posters was Miss Piggy from the Muppets! And one of Andy Gibb! I couldn't tell you which one came first but I remember both of them hanging in my childhood room. My college dorm had Jon Bon Jovi and Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid).
When I was very young, I loved Peanuts: in fact, I still do, and love reading old Peanuts cartoons. One day we were walking through a Hallmark store and I saw a poster of Charlie Brown with that pensive look on his face. Behind him were squiggly stripes in all the colors of the rainbow.
The kicker? It had a quote, in Charles Schultz's block handwriting that said:
"Every morning when I get up I feel like I'm over my head"
Talk about inspirational! I asked my mom if I could buy it with my allowance money, and she said "But it's so depressing," but I insisted it was actually happy because I would wake up and be happier than Charlie Brown. I thinik I'd say anything to get the poster, which I did. I have no idea where it is now, probably in my parent's attic, eaten by mice. But yes, I had that poster above my bed all the way until high school. And I don't thinnk it's message to me was ever a depressing one.
I remember first having two posters around 8 or 10 years old. Both were ballet-themed (I took lessons from age 7 until high school graduation). One was a dancer in mid arabesque; the other was a pair of pointe shoes. I don't know which came first.
HAH - my first poster really dates me (I am 75 but I feel like I am 45). My first poster was Bobby Rydell. Do you even remember him??? I had posters on my closet doors as a kid. Once I got to college, walls were filled with late 60's rockers and psychedelic-looking things.
My space was the upper bunk with all 50 of my stuffed animals. Ok, maybe 10. But they had to be there. No one left out. My first poster was the Bob Dylan with the colorful psychedelic hair. I also had a few Le Garage (LBI, NJ)) posters.

That sounds like something your mom would have been concerned with LOL

Pretty sure my first poster was one of the Kiss Destroyer artwork. My aunt Shirley bought it for me. I was about 8.

I don't remember having any posters in my childhood bedrooms. I do remember that I had a photo of Angela Davis on my wall when I was in high school.
