You are right about Entwhistle great bass player, him and Chris Squire the bass player for Yes were terrific and almost unknown. Entwhistle had at least one really good solo album. Yeah l am be old too but l got to see the great bands live.

I was growing up in the 70s as well. Born in the early 60s, I got to listen to some of the great bands and even see some of them live in their prime.
Something interesting is that on YouTube, there are A LOT of videos of younger people discovering great 1970s music for the first time, and they're absolutely blown away, hearing classic Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Yes, and Rush, and other band, they can't believe they're listening to music recorded decades before they were born, and how amazing it it.
Seeing their reactions brings me back in time, remembering how I felt when the music was new to me too.

BTW, Chris Squire had a couple of amazing albums, one a Christmas album, “Chris Squire’s Swiss Choir,” is really incredible, and led to a later collaboration with Steve Hackett of Genesis, “Squakett.” But his solo album, “Fish Out of Water” is amazing. Chris Squire listed John Entwistle as a major influence in developing his sound and musical style, and quite sadly, they both died on June 27, 13 years apart, Entwistle in 2002, and Squire in 2015. Crazy, huh?

I've seen Yes many times over many versions of keyboardists, but Chris Squire and Steve Howe were fantastic artists.
