Winger is an American rock band that made their mark on the music scene in the late 1980s. Formed in 1987, the band originally consisted of lead vocalist and bassist Kip Winger, guitarist Reb Beach, keyboardist Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein. Their blend of glam metal and progressive rock catapulted them into the limelight, particularly with their self-titled debut album, "Winger," which was released in 1988. This album, along with its follow-up, "In the Heart of the Young" (1990), featured a series of hits that helped define the band's career, including "Seventeen," "Headed for a Heartbreak," and "Miles Away."

Over the years, Winger's musical style evolved, incorporating more sophisticated arrangements and technical proficiency, as showcased in later albums such as "Pull" (1993) and "IV" (2006). Despite the changing musical landscape and the decline in popularity of glam metal in the 1990s, Winger continued to produce music and perform, maintaining a loyal fan base. Their more recent releases, such as "Karma" (2009), "Better Days Comin'" (2014), and "Seven" showcase the band's enduring talent and adaptability in the music industry. With their intricate compositions and powerful performances, Winger has secured their place in rock history, demonstrating both longevity and musical innovation.
