The drum, or at least the bass to keep time. Without those instruments, playing a song becomes 1000 times harder.

Not really, look at the majority of singer/songwriters. Plus, I find doing a song with just an acoustic guitar is way easier then with any other instruments too.

Accoustic does well when played solo, Electric not so much, it sounds empty without drums and bass to back it up.

Anyway, don't take offense Ethan, I'm not dissing punk bassists, but punk bassists are pretty low in the mix in general, it was just a stupid joke.

Anyway, Minutemen are the main exception to the rule, I'm not dissing punk bassists, but punk bassists are pretty low in the mix in general, it was just a stupid joke.
Unless we're talking ska bassist (those normally are in the front of the mix) who are pretty damn good.


EDIT: wow that looks dumb i know you're talking about punk and I'm just throwing ska in under punk (since it spawned from it)

I was making a jest also, I know what you meant.

I agree with bass when it comes to rock, when I've jammed with people the bass has helped me alot.

I would have to say guitar. While with drums you can make a really good beat, i believe there is no sound better in the world than an awesome guitar cranking out a wicked solo/rythm. I know many people would disagree, but thats just my opinion

Point taken. :beer:

But this is a hard poll! I consider them all important to the band in their own ways.... they all bring something to a band.
