The Rockets were an American rock band from Detroit, Michigan, formed in 1972. Their early work culminated in the release of the self-titled album Rockets in 1979 and the follow-up No Ballads the following year, helping the band become known throughout the country. The Rockets recorded on several labels over the years, including RCA, Capitol, RSO, and Elektra. Singles from these releases achieved national chart success, including a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well", which reached the Billboard Hot 100, along with "Can't Sleep" and "Desire". The band broke up in 1983, later reuniting in 2010 before disbanding again in 2011; they reformed once more in 2013 and continued performing intermittently through 2017.
