Winger isn't really famous band although they still performs. It was formed in 1987 in New York by Kip Winger who was earlier bassist in Alice Cooper's band. The group featured also guitarist Reb Beach, bassist Paul Taylor, and drummer Rod Morgenstein. They were representative of the heavy metal music, especially glam metal (which means flashy clothing, makeup and long, shaggy hair) and actually progressive metal. They performed until 1994 unless the music scene changed then they faded. Not for a long, in 2001 they reunited for two years and couple of successful tours but their broke up due to Reb Beach touring with Whitesnake. They came back in 2006 with their new album VI which had really similar music to their originally created. Since that they released more two albums, last one in 2014 called Better Days Comin'. Now Winger still performs in mini-tours and private events in almost the same composition as thirty years ago.
I must add that they have a lot of great songs but the most important are: Miles Away from their second album In The Heart of the Young (1990), Seventeen and power ballad Headed for a Heartbreak from first album Winger (1988).
Miles Away
