That's because:
1. Hendrix was a lead guitarist, whereas Entwistle played bass guitar--which is primarily an accompaniment instrument.
2. Hendrix died in his prime, whereas Entwistle was probably at least a quarter of a century past his.
I'm taking nothing away from Hendrix, but rock stars who die in their prime do tend to get put up on a higher pedestal than others.
