Exactly. You have been asked to stop posting videos all the time.
I'v been warned to not post a serie of embeded videos and also these album covers, and I and I do not do that anymore. However, no one moderator was said me to not post a few vids sometimes as all other members can do as well.


Ok great, but you've still posted two videos in your last few posts and people are quite capable of looking up John Entwhistle on YouTube if they so desire. (...)

There are 1000s vids of John Entwistle at YouTube, but I wanted to post just these two.
And I know the reason why I posted them. Ok?
OK, just trying to help.

This.

Bass players make a band IMHO.

THE OX was the only sophisticated musician in The Who. He revolutionised the bass. Listen to My Generation.....1965 guys...c'mon! If you need proof, watch the film "The Kids Are All Right"; it demonstrates that John Entwhistle was a master of his instrument.

Also listen to the bass in "The Real Me" from Quadrophenia. He's almost my fav bass player of any genre.

Jack Bruce, well he had a better singing voice than THE OX.

I understand. Also I do not have impact with some of the bigs.

Btw, a nice video tribute to John Entwistle.

John Entwistle released four solo albums in '70s and he formed his own band John Entwistle's The Ox in 1975 with guitarist Robert A. Johnson. So maybe you would check his solo output.
I'd like to recommend Entwistle's Wistle Rhymes and Rigor Mortis Sets In (which was released as a joke) the albums from 1972 and 1973.

I am aware that both are extremely talented Bassists. I tried many albums from The Who, none did much for me.
I have many LP's with Jack Bruce and really think his style was amazing and clicked with me. I vote JB, but Entwistle could've been so much more.
What Bruce does on the Cream signature jam 'Spoonful' , is superb. That, and his singing.....

I really don't know much about either bassists' work outside their respective bands, but my vote goes to Jack Bruce for the simple fact that I like Cream a lot more than I do The Who.

Bruce certainly.....Entwistle was  great but Bruce is far more versatile and his songwriting is way beyond anything Entwistle ever did.

voted Jack Bruce - inspite of the fact that when I met him, in a professional capacity, not in an energy-vampire fanboy way, he was the most cantankerous person I have ever encountered.
