Famous In Michigan: Brownsville Station

Published by The Webmaster at 1:38 am under Famous In Michigan Edit This

Many people don’t realize that the 70’s rock band Brownsville Station is from the state of Michigan, as well. In fact, many of you may not even realize who exactly Brownsville Station is; but there is no doubt you’ll know them by their most famous song, “Smokin’ In The Boys Room”.

Seen as one of the earliest teen rebellion anthems, Smokin In The Boys Room gained Brownsville Station huge success all across the nation. It topped out at #3 on the record charts, but its impression on American youth and culture had already been made. The song was even covered in the 1980’s by Motley Crue.

Of course Brownsville Station had many other songs, beside Smokin In The Boys Room – but this is by far their most notable work.
