Most important instrument in a band (drum, bass, funk, rock)

Get a subwoofer, geez. Anyway, in response to everyone else. Do you know how empty some guitar lines would sound without at least a four count beat to back them up? And why would you put a kazoo intro in if it didn't mean something to the music?

You are using examples to say that you'd rather just play songs that are 4 minutes of guitar because that's the only thing people want to hear.

Personally I love listening to music and picking out all the parts, even when something is maybe outshining the other instruments (definitely not more IMPORTANT, just more noticable). If you think something isn't as important as the rest then it would be hypocritical to even listen to music that had said instrument.
