As for GnR... I've never liked them. I think their popularity stemmed more from their personification of the rock and roll lifestyle (and they all played into that illusion really well) more so than having actual talent, which was the point. Sure they were talented, but Winger has more. In my humble opinion.

That’s interesting because I always felt that Winger’s popularity had more to do with Kip Winger’s good looks than anything else. I’ve likewise never liked Winger and always rated them not just below Guns ’n’ Roses, but below Motley Crue and even Poison, down in Warrant/Cinderella territory. Winger may well have been more skilled with their instruments—though not to a degree that makes them interesting to listen to for me—but to me their songwriting is not even close to Guns ’n’ Roses. And being able to produce good music is ultimately the talent I care about with musicians.
