Out of curiosity, since I'm not one of them, how would the proper Winger fans rank those submissions?
9 songs tied for last place!

Which would also tie them all for first place! Along with King, I'd rank my song #1 as well. I'll post my opinions at the end of this round. There are a few excellent songs I'd put ahead of some of these that weren't submitted, but there isn't a bad song in this bunch, imo.

There were definitely some songs better than others. Of course that ain't saying much.  ;D

Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Unless it's Cameron Crow.  Then it's the same feeling Tim has about Winger. :lol

So basically you're saying that a 'best of Winger playlist' = saying grace?

Hopefully you got something out of some of the songs, or else it feels like a bit of a waste of a round.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

If this truly is the case, then there is a mental (audio) block at you being able to like this music just because it's "Winger" (which I can understand - play me some Opeth, and I'm bound to be the same way).  Given your tastes, there should've been something in that list that was palatable.  9 of us can't be entirely wrong (or even 6... since 3 aren't big Winger fans either).

Or maybe you're just trolling us.

Ok I'll give some serious observations after three listens each.

There are a few good tunes.
They sure can write vocal melodies.
The lyrics are terrible.
Some great guitar solos but way too short.
With the top notch musicianship in the band, I would expect more interesting musical breaks.
Rod Morganstein is criminally under used. Apparently it's easier to get laid hanging around Kip than it is with Steve Morse.
I didn't realize Marc Storace sang for Winger too! ;D

You guys AGAIN did a great job. There's really no song that absolutely sucks. There ARE  some that are better than others though.

Lyrics - whatever you do, don't listen to their latest song - Midnight Driver of a Love Machine (I'm not making that up).
Guitar solo's - check out the outro solo in Witness - another ballad, and a close 3rd in what I would've sent.  Epic is the only way to describe that solo.  Best in the discography, imo.
Rod getting pussy - clearly.  Same could be said about hanging with Jordan Rudess I'm sure.

In all seriousness, it is most definitely not a waste. :)

For guitar solos, as Chad said, Witness is one to listen to, as is Out of This World from the last album.  The live version of Generica that was released on the live album and DVD, which I think was in 2007.  That has some of the best live impro jamming I've ever heard.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

Thinking about it now, I should have sent something from the last album, that's creeping up the rankings for me, killer album.

I love Kip Winger I think.
