Hello people! Just recently, as I continue on my quest, I discovered a blog post at CPU-1.com that proclaimed that the most important instrument is...
The human voice.
I disagree with CPU-1 because in essence, the use of voice in songs are typically worse than useless. This is even more true in modern music such as rap and screamo. People yell or say stupid and obscene things that make absolutely no sense at all. Even in country music, of which it's entire purpose is to get a message across, an idea can be conveyed much better in a well written speech, in which you can include quite a bit more of what your trying to say.
CPU-1 also claims that singing "...will allow you learn a great deal about songs and how melodies and rhythms come in concert to form some of essentially the most beloved songs our species has at any time developed."
Coming from personal experience here, I can tell you that the exact opposite of this statement is true. I'm not saying that this is wrong, but seriously, learning to sing is much easier if you've already learned how to keep a beat and play melodies on just about any instrument, typically the drums or the keyboard.
Regardless though, some of you might agree with CPU-1, so I'm putting a "Voice" option on the poll at the top of the page, which, by the way, closes on October 31. Please Please Please Please vote for what instrument you think is most important, because it will help me on where I look to complete my quest.
