"Down Incognito" by Winger

Formerly a member of Alice Cooper's band, Kip Winger formed his own outfit during the hairband craze of the late 80s. Riding this wave, Winger scored with hits like "Seventeen" and "Headed For A Heartbreak," which reached #26 and #19 in 1989, respectively.

Like many melodic rock bands in the early 90s, Winger struggled in the face of grunge. Nonetheless, they managed to score a few more chart appearances, including their biggest hit, "Miles Away," which peaked at #12 in 1991.

"Down Incognito" was the first single from their 1993 effort, "Pull." This is a terrific tune that I never grow tired of hearing, and I am puzzled why it didn't attract more attention to this more mature record. Winger has continued to release the occasional album in-between Kip's solo efforts.
