Another song from their Wingeralbum. This one made it to #27 on the charts on November 4, 1988, just a month after the album came out. There is killer acoustics throughout the song. Kip’s vocals are alluring and make you want to listen to and learn every word of the darker, cryptic song. It is a beautiful, wonderfully written song that, some say, d...

the only song on their album, Pull, made it to the charts. June 25, 1993, it was number 15. The album was released May 18, 1993, and was #83 on the Billboard 200. This album is heavier and harder rock than their first two albums. Definitely underrated and underplayed. It has killer guitar playing throughout the whole song. Kip’s voice is a little r...
This is a personal pick of mine. After listening to the whole Pullcd, I had to throw another song off of their third album onto the top 10 Winger Song list while researching and writing. This song comes with a beautiful acoustic solo at the beginning. Because this was an underrated album, this song didn’t make it on the charts. It’s an incredible b...

I have seen the title spelled both ways. Coming in at #3 on our top 10 Winger Songs, this song hit #6 on the charts in August of 1990. From their second album, In the Heart of the Young.

Miles Away was released off their second album, “Miles Away” made it to #14 on December 7, 1990. Another intense ballad by Winger, wrote by Paul Taylor, that many of us could relate to. Lost loves after high school when we all go our separate ways. Wanting her to think about her feelings and what they had when they were together. In hopes that will...
“Without the Night” is one of my all-time favorite ballads of the 80s. “Without the Night” is on the Wingeralbum. This song melts my heart.

But, it is...

Jul 21, 2014 · Would you agree that it's the quintessential Winger rock song? Winger: No. But people think it is. It wasn't even our highest-charting single. "Headed for a Heartbreak" for me exemplifies the band the most because of the way Rod drums and Reb's solo. It's in Lydian and it's more out in the zone of where we all come from.
