I also found Winger pretty damn boring. I know they are considered to be very talented but it always felt pretty light on my ears. I would rank them below Cinderella also no joke. I felt Motley Crue and GNR always got lumped in with some crappy bands and they really were just rock n roll bands. Going back to your statement about them being good as a complete unit I think thats a very valid statement. They at one point had some really great material and constructed some pretty damn good songs.
