 WINGER BEST OF..
Submitted on: 2009-10-24 |

Winger is one of the best 80's rock bands, and this greatest hits collection PROVES IT!!! With hits like "Headed For A Heartbreak," "Seventeen," "Madalaine," "Can't Get Enough," "Miles Away" and many more, you'll be crankin up the car stereo like you did back in the 80's. This is ALSO a great cd for new Winger fans, because it will leave them wanting more.....MUCH MORE!
Anywho, all in all a great best of collection, but also buy yourself a copy of each of their studio albums, because some key tracks are missing from this collection. ;) |

| Wheras before I saw Winger more as a guilty pleasure, here the focus is on the pop metal that made the Winger band big, enough to get Kip himself in play girl. If you still like Christian metal bands from back in the day who still put out music, Winger has to be an icon of the pop metal genre. Key tracks are: Miles Away, Seventeen and Headed for a Heartbreak. Beavis & Butt head Stewart jokes aside, this is quality music from a now veteran band. Though the best material here comes from their first couple platinum albums. A worthwhile purchase for the Christian metal fan. Favorable comparisons to Stryper and Journey. One of the best looking metal frontmen in Kip Winger. I like it. |

Nobody can touch Winger's musicianship....Legendary Band

Every member of this band was a trained musician of the highest calliber...they actualy had to tone things waaaay down for Winger to not overwhelm the music buying public. One of the heaviest of the 80's bands, along with Dokken, these guys are at the top of my list. Kip is an excellent songwriter, and as a fellow musician is somehone whom I greatly admire. I recomend buying each Winger Cd, as due to space of course this collection is missing allot of great material.
Fozzy All That Remains Reloaded is another great CD from a newer band that you need to check out.All That Remains Reloaded (W/Dvd) |

Great mix from the often scorned Winger

THE BAND: Kip Winger (lead vocals, bass), Reb Beach (guitars), Rod Morgenstein (drums & percussion), Paul Taylor (keyboards - 1st and 2nd albums only), John Roth (guitars on track 1 only).
THE DISC: (2001) 16 tracks clocking in at approximately 73 minutes. Included with the disc is a 14-page booklet containing song titles/credits, several band photos, 9-pages of band history from writer Doug Ling (Classic Rock Magazine), studio album cover artwork, what songs came from which albums and year released. This compilation follows the band from 1988-1993 (with the new song - track 1 - being recorded in 2001). Elements from each of the band's studio album artwork appear on this 'Best Of' cover. Label - Atlantic Recording Corp & Rhino.
COMMENTS: I know I'm not alone here... but to this day, when Winger comes to mind, I still think of Beavis and Butthead making fun of the geeky kid Stewart next door (while Beavis and Butthead wore their Metallica and AC/DC t-shirts, Stewart was often found wearing a Winger t-shirt). It's too bad - because Kip Winger & Company had some great tunes. The musicians were extremely talented - all the guys can play. As much as this was Kip Winger's band, listen to Reb Beach tear it up on guitar - the guy could shred with the best of them. Ever since I heard his guitar work on "Seventeen" (beginning, middle solo and ending) I was a fan - including his albums with Dokken. Drummer Morgenstein is an accomplished lefty behind the kit - honing his chops in the 70's with the Dixie Dregs and several side projects, including teaming up with Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess in 1997. Kip Winger is no slouch on bass - he's put in his time too with the likes of Alice Cooper, Kix, Jordan Rudess, Bob Dylan, Twisted Sister, Fiona, and several solo projects. For all intensive purposes, Winger had 3 studio albums in their prime (though they'd get together on and off in the years to come, release some solo material, join other bands, put a live album out in 2007, and reunite with Winger's "IV" in 2006). The tracks are presented in reverse order - starting with the new unreleased tune, then to the underrated "Pull", followed by songs from "In The Heart Of The Young" and Winger's debut. THE GOOD: The Winger staples are all here in glorious remastered sound - "Madalaine", "Hungry", "Seventeen", "Headed For A Heartbreak", "Miles Away", "Easy Come Easy Go", "Can't Get Enuff", "Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)", "Down Incognito", "Blind Revolution Mad", etc. The unreleased song "On The Inside" is classic Winger - trademark vocals, a funky heavy beat with an ultra crunchy rhythm guitar. Another bonus is "Hell To Pay" - previously only available on the Japanese edition of "Pull"... fits right in with the other songs from the time. The remastered sound is deep and crisp. THE NOT SO GOOD: As far as compilations go, this "Very Best Of Winger" is outstanding. To me, only one thing sticks out - Five tracks each from "Pull" and "In The Heart Of The Young"... and only four tracks from Winger's debut. There was room at the end of the disc - why not throw the only glaring omission - "Hangin' On" - at the end to make it complete. "Miles Away" is the band's sappiest power ballad, but it's the band's highest charting single (#12)... so of course I understand it's inclusion here. OVERALL: If you were into the other hair bands of the 80's and early 90's (Poison, Motley Crue, Dokken, Bon Jovi, White Lion, Ratt, Slaughter, etc), you probably liked some Winger too... even if you still refuse to admit it. All being said, this is a great introduction to the band (5 stars).

| Winger are one of the greatest rock bands of all time. They are all musicians of the highest calibre and together they made some very high quality albums. This best of CD has all the hits and a great new song too! The production is outstanding and the whole album just rocks. If you love high quality melodic rock then check this out. Highly recommended to fans of Giant, Radioactive, and Extreme. |
