I've never really heard any Entwistle and because of this I don't really see what the fuss is about.
BUT! I'm willing to learn and I want to learn!
Can anyone point me to some good starting songs/albums?
Thanks a lot

I suppose, in comparison to many rock bass players of the era, Entwistle was quite a genious. However, even when I have sat with other bass players who are Entwistle fans and listened to them raving, I never quite got it. That's no reflection on Entwistle, it's just that he didn't click for me.
There are LOTS of great players. For me, Abe Laboriel, Sr. was and still is at the top of the list. http://www.angelfire.com/music/world..._contents.html
Check YouTube for more clips of him. Even now, with gray hair and a few more pounds, he's remains one of the most incredible players you will ever find.

He is the reason you have roundwound strings available to buy at the music store... or where ever you might buy them. When he started playing you could only buy flatwound strings. He found the gentleman that started Roto Sound and they collaborated on the strings and viola... a whole new sound.
He was amazing in a lot of ways
