I personally agree with you but "essential" is not measurable as is eg. how many recordings you made or sold. For someone, the forty or so Robert Johnson recordings might be the only essential thing in music.

As a reminder to those reading this post, the thread started with a debate on whether harmonica has played an essential role in blues music or not. I still say it has.
