John Entwistle

Musician

English bassist and songwriter, best known as a founding member of The Who; acclaimed for his innovative bass style and solo recordings.

Born John Alec Entwistle (1944–2002). Founding member and bassist of The Who. Nicknamed 'The Ox'. Widely regarded as one of rock's greatest bassists. Released multiple solo albums including Too Late the Hero and Smash Your Head Against the Wall.

Three DeBaser reviews by ligdjs highlight Entwistle's strengths as bassist, songwriter and solo artist. Too Late the Hero is singled out as a high point; live and rock'n'roll records get mixed-but-fond appraisals. Overall: respect, nostalgia and appreciation.

 He lived his life under the overwhelming personalities of Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, and Keith Moon, and today he is remembered for being "the quiet one," the calm one, one of the greatest bassists in history: John Alec Entwistle.
