It obviously depends on what band we're talking about, but generally speaking, my love is shared by the lead guitarist and the bassist. I voted for lead guitarist though, because I guess I have more favorite lead guitarists than favorite bassists. That must mean something
the question was something along the lines of "except the singers...what other bandmember..."
i voted drummer. i think the drummer puts the melody into a song. it would just be acoustic all the time if it wasn't for the drummer. just look at jazz music...well actually that's more saxophone and stuff... bad example. yeah so whatever. drummer for moi.
i picked drummers, because most of the guys in bands that I've dated are drummers, but i also love bassist who are like me and the ocasional guitarest from time to time
