Congratulations... the same can be said for any instrument.

And for those of you who have the odd idea that a guitar is necessary to make good music, you should listen to The Misfits' earliest output... they used an organ instead of a guitar. Personally, those tracks constitute my favorite Misfits songs. And of course there are tons of bands (even in Rock) that don't use a guitar, and they're great.

I dont think you CAN be missing any of them. I would say the Bass and the Drums are the most important but then again, you do need a singer.

I would say you haven't listened to a lot of music if you think vocals, bass, guitar, keyboard, and drums are all necessary to making music.

I think this is the wackiest poll ever! They all have their own qualities and are integral to most bands. Of course there are exceptions but I really cannot vote in this one. The most important instrument is the one in your jockeys?.....

Well I think that bass is the most basic instrument but it would be lame without anything else...

It just depends on the genre. You can't really have a standard rock n roll band without a drummer, guitarist and bassist. But then again try and be a drummer in a Bluegrass band or a bass player in a Raga ensemble. You would feel very out of place.

You can make a good band of just about any kind of ensemble as long as you've got the skillz.
