Winger (band)
Winger is an American metal band from in New York City. Winger became popular during the late 1980s and early 1990s from songs like Seventeen, Headed for a Heartbreak and Miles Away. As the music scene changed in the early to mid-1990s with the popularity of grunge music, the band lost popularity after their third album Pull.
