And then of course there was Jerry Lew Lewis who could write a great rock n roll song for just piano, bass and drums.
Wow, I forgot about "The National Anthem," great example and there's other Radiohead examples also. But yeah it's hard to think of them like I said, which I guess sorta makes the guitar the most important? This question is more about your definition of importance I feel.
