Re: Fozzer's remark re: Entwhistle: My ex-bass player from 40 years ago (wow, that's a stretch), who, early on even, had the ability to listen to a tune once, maybe twice, and figure out the bass lines, once told me that in his opinion, John Entwhistle was the best bass player on the scene, period. His opinion was absolute, that is, not based on any liking or disliking of the Who (actually, he wasn't a big Who fan).
I personally cannot judge bass players, so I can't render any opinion as to who was the best, etc., aside from saying that I always assumed that bass players in big name groups were always very competent.
