I was voting for the importance of the instrument when it does feature in the band and how much it being played well or badly affects the music. Thus I voted for drums, as good drumming really gets a song going, whereas bad drumming tends to ruin it.
Big Bottom, by Spinal Tap, doesn't have a (non-bass) guitar in it, Don. Although they ARE a spoof band... |

Yes. This is one of those IMO moments. The logic for this one stops at your own preference. Badly played drums (particularly badly timed ones) tend to throw all of the other instruments out more noticeably than badly played guitars, keys or vocals. Other instruments do mess up other parts of the song if played badly, of course.

Radioheads National Anthem is also a pretty rockin' song and it has no guitar, at least that i know of. And then of course there was Jerry Lew Lewis who could write a great rock n roll song for just piano, bass and drums. |
