For my loyal subscribers who know I have a pretty eclectic taste in pop music, but for those that think i just do disco and weepy tributes, here is a little gem from 1979 by American rockers The Rockets. In my chronological journey through pop culture and Top 40 charts, i noticed 'Oh Well' by The Rockets (a Fleetwood Mac cover) which entered the Billboard Top 40 in August of that year. I had the track in my mp3 collection, but then i noticed on the Australian chart, a previously unheard one called 'Can't sleep' also by The Rockets. The former selection peaked in America at #35 18/11/79, while the latter entered the oz chart 27/8/79 and peaked at #91. Of the two I prefer 'Can't sleep': a catchy and guitar licked gem which perhaps should have been a bigger hit. Enjoy!
