A balance of percussion, bass and melody in any shape of form there is no instrument more important than another.

I still stick with drums because it gives the beat of what you need to sing to.

I don't know why keyboard's a poll option.... how can anyone think a keyboard is the most important in a band (in terms of an ordinary, average group)....

^ Besides you can barely even hear keyboards most of the time. Sometimes you can but you have to listen pretty hard.

Sure, but isn't the poll referring to your everyday band? As in which instrument is "universally" important?

A keyboard is hardly "universal".

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
