I voted drums but in reality its how well whatever instruments are used combine. Each instrument has its own atmosphere and attributes and to assign a preference to one negates the music as a whole. Look at all of the great prog bands- Floyd, Genesis, Yes, DT- they all display master musicianship in every field and function well together. For good guitar over everything, listen to hair metal. For good bass, listen to the majority of funk (P-Funk excluded).

Vocals definitely. Often the lack of them
When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

Every fiber of my being wanted to vote Viola because of my depp-seated love for it. But I had to concede piano/keyboard is more important
Bassists are deadly

Depends entirely on what one's playing. Impossible to choose one instrument and call it the most important.

I happen to like the sound of "crowd going nuts" which luckily I hear when i see my favourite bands play live!!!

I dunno, isn't it the combo that makes it good?

Honestly, Bass, it can be used for holding up the melody and rhythm.

Not a chance dude!  The second pecussionist for the Toilet Lickers gives him a run for his money!  I've seen both of them live!
