this is one of the concepts that makes the beatles such an outstanding band with great music. not one of them alone were really AMAZING musicians. they were all talented in their own rights, and they contributed that to something greater.
think about it, what music fan cant name at least 5 (if not 25) people that play better guitar than george and john, a better bass than paul, and better drums than ringo? honestly there are artist who were better song writers than both john and paul too.
the most important instrument i believe changes song to song... but i would say guitar and piano are the most versatile because they can stand alone, lead in a group, or just add to the group as a whole.
vocals might be argued too, but i think that music without vocals is better than vocals without music... so i cant really vote for it. ie id rather listen to explosions in the sky than some ones a capella.
