Not all music requires drums though, Bluegrass uses Banjo to get its percussion sounds.

Its still replacable, you could choose any other kind of lead or rhythm instrument to take its place, it just produces a different sound. Theres a lot of different and creative things that folks today could do musically, but they choose not to, and they follow the quarter centurys old guitar/bass/drums trend instead. |

The role of the guitar has nothing to do with anything. From the blues, RNB, rock 'n' roll, Chuck Berry, etc spawned the creation of rock because people liked the way it sounded and so the commercialism grew. Others' copied and decided to take the rock elements and strand it into a wider variety of music, but obviously still encompassing rock because of the instruments. Rock = guitar/bass/drums/vocals. It's just a formula that worked. It wasn't "based" around guitars, per say, it was just a combination of instruments working together for the audiences interest.

I voted drums with anything percussive in mind. I mean, the drums are like the heartbeat of the band. I play the guitar, personally, but I think that my own songs are nothing without a beat. Even folk songs with just acoustic and such still have something percussive with them a lot of times like tambourine.
