What's the most important position in a band?

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!

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

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.

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
4. Rythm guitar
5. bass

guitarist but just saying that cause I play

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

all of them!!!

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

lead guitarist …
