I pick Entwhistle, but you have to understand that my pick is suspect. I'm an "old geezer" that grew up as a bass player on Entwhistle and by contrast, I have to admit, I'm not even hardly familiar with the playing of Bronson or Greenwood.  So, not sure my vote should really count for much.  For all I know Bronson & Greenwood might be able to play circles around Entwhistle.  Just being as honest as I can about my pick.

With only those 3 to choose from...not much choice. Entwistle broke new ground in equipment and in technique. And he was an Ox! :lol:

But given my druthers; I'd pick Colin Moulding of XTC. He plays riffs that blow my mind.

the band Charles Bronson were amazing. They came out of Decalb, Chicago. Fast hardcore punk. In their time they were regarded as one of the best with bands around. Featured Ebro who was in Los Crudos, the singer went onto sing in The Oath. They used lots of Charles Bronson samples as intros. Very intelligent and yet very funny lyrics.

This isn't a fair poll. Clearly, Chuck Norris would be the ultimate winner.

Thank God someone else out there would pick Jack. Gotta love the sound of a Gibson EB3.
