Vocals/Lyrics without that theres really no song.

I listen to plenty of instrumentals. I'm guessing what you really meant is melody in general.

yea i know what your sayin. You know how bands usually tell stories in their lyrics. And then you listen to a song and theres no words. And its like..um okay. But
Yea as long as you have a guitar and drums u have somethin.

There is really no answer, in most rock bands though, the guitar probably is.
And yeah what boo boo said

"I'm a one man band"....

but seriously the tune comes from the g'tar or piano... you can have a great song without lyrics

I voted Piano / Keyboard since you can play almost anything with a key board

Drums for sure!!

Bass. It's in any musical genre, almost.

Keane has a bass but no guitar for example. And many bands go without drums.

Tough poll though, it really is the strengths of all the instruments that come together to make a great group. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts in a band, I think.
