What's the most important position in a band?

Out of the following Which position is the most important?

Singer
Guitarist
Bassist
Drummer

I'd say a drummer of course

lead guitarist ...

depends really... but id categorize it like this

1. singer ( come on the wsinger is crucial you dont want to make heavy metal with Black metal grunts lol)
2. drummer (cant do anything without em)
3. Synthesizer (the music I listen to has this)
4.lead guitar
5. Rythm guitar
6. bass

The most important position in the band is the frontman, he's the one who's responsible for all speaking appearances and for keeping everyone cool and in order.

I would say the guitarist/vocalist. I mean, you can have songs without drums and a bass. But a song thats all drums and no other instruments? not so much...same with the bass.

deff. the drummer!!! I am not just sayin that because I play either... the drums have the main beat and keeps everthing together..

all of them!!!

I would say whoever is most talented, regardless of position, ends up defining the entire band.

heh, I just noticed your user name was selected after a guitar player who defined his band.

guitarist but just saying that cause I play

singer is definately the most popular and credited but it is of the least importance...I play guitar, it has a lot of importance but it can only be placed 2nd most important position...bass most oftenly makes a song catchy but it would most likely be placed 3rd most important...so yes, I think the drum lube is most important, because you just simply cannot have a band without a drummer, they keep the beat, produce the energy and puts the instruments together...

the drummer in a band is like the glue in a bird house. The singer is the little post that holds the house up, the walls are the rythem guitarist, the hole of which the birds use as a door is the lead guitarist, and the roof is the bassist...together they are a beautiful bird house...but what good is it if there is no glue to hold the peices together...that's where a drummer comes in...(think on that =])

Singer!... plays the big role!

I play drums in my badn; so naturaly I think I'm the most imporantant person, but truth is, They all have an important role, bacasue togthe rhtye form good sound. Not apart. SO this question...in my opionon, at least, can't answered.
