Keyboards are very important for the prog-scene but GUITAR rules since it is rock!

Question looks like "what is more important for people - arms or legs?".

Obviously each instrument is important.

I'm a keyboardist.
Simply put: no keys = no music.

:D

Speaking seriously, keys are VERY important to prog. But there's no instrument which is not essential. Voice is an instrument too, but in prog we make instruments sing.
Dangerous to be closely minded by a closed mind.

It can do without anything, but like Sleeper, I'd say bass and drums will be sorely missed if they aren't there.

Personally I like keyboards more than any other instrument, but still there's a lot of great music without keyboards.

Listening to Van Der Graaf Generator recently I realised despite enjoying it there was something in their sound missing could it be Guitar ? ... I also listened to Wishbone Ash recently and I enjoyed them also but once again there was something missing, perhaps  keyboards ?

 My Question is this , what instrument  cant Prog do without ?
