...and it's unfinished!

you can't narrow down what draws someone to a band simply to one instrument... that would really be a bad essay imo

Definitely Bass Guitar. I'm Into Funk Music And I Think That's What Comes Out So Strongly On The Best Tracks.

If we are talking about a normal band structure, it's definitely guitar. Vocals are a close second.

The bands whole sound is what mostly attracts me, although the bass guitar and drums can also make me want to listen to a band.

it's drums for me.

it took me a long time to notice that it was the first element that i really grabbed onto. as a guitar player i'd always 'choose' to listen to the guitar predominantly, but that was a choice, it wasn't my natural listening reaction.

Guitar. Usually depends on what kind of music it is too.

A really good guitar or some striking vocals can grab my attention, but it usually takes some kind of combined effect of the whole band to actually keep that attention.
