Say what you will about Winger but they most certainly did not lack talent.
And yet, their songs were cringe-inducing shit.:-)

For you.

For millions, they weren't.

The same could be said for Toto, yet those guys played on some the most influential and popular albums of all time.

They played on and wrote the majority of Michael Jackson's "Thriller".

I can see your other points though.

Def Leppard pretty much begins and ends with "High and Dry" for me, the guys in Motley we're so fucked up during "Theater" I don't doubt your claim one bit, and GnR didn't sound like GnR after "Appetite".

That's a fact.
I'm fairly widely known as a "I like their early stuff" guy around here.

I like early Crue, I prefer AC/DC with Bon Scott, and for me, Motorhead is a 3-piece.

What they lacked was modesty and chemistry. They were all individually talented musicians. Wasn't it Kip that did the stint with Alice Cooper? Together, they were AWFUL. They could have done something unique - they had the chance to put together some kind of fusion masterpiece. Instead they took the Paul Gilbert/Billy Sheehan route (Mr. Big :-)) and put out god-awful radio rock.

Yep. Yet another band that was good early and awful after circumstances changed. Started with fire and ended up cashing in.

It was Izzy.
And yet another band that was good early and awful after circumstances changed. They had a good mix with Izzy and Slash. The more say Axl got in the creative process, the worse they got.

"Theater of Pain" was the album I was trying to think of when I was thinking "what was their last great album"?

I will say this - live they sounded JUST as tight as they did in the studio. Very few of the bands of that era could do that.
