The Very Best of Winger is a greatest hits album by American rock band Winger, released by Atlantic Records and Rhino Entertainment in October 2001.[1]

Most of the songs on the album were collected from the first three Winger studio albums: Winger (1988), In the Heart of the Young (1990), and Pull (1993). However, one new recording called "On the Inside" was featured, as well as a Japanese bonus track from Pull called "Hell to Pay". According to frontman Kip Winger, "On the Inside" was a leftover riff from the Pull sessions that he and Reb Beach worked into a complete song for the release of this compilation.[2]

The album has a track listing essentially in reverse chronological order, with the more recently finished the song the earlier it appears.[1]

Reception

Template:Album ratings AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine lauded the release, stating that it proved that the group had "some good hooks, a good guitarist in Reb Beach, nice chemistry within the band, and a knack for a power ballad". Erlewine noted that among heavy-sounding "bands of the late '80s/early '90s... they were the brunt of more jokes than any of their peers", most notably on the subversive program Beavis and Butt-Head. However, in his view, that did not change Winger's ability to generate multiple "classics", which the album collects. Erlewine additionally praised the album's detailed liner notes.[1]
