Smell.
- Sight is needed for TV , movies and vidya.
- Sound is needed for music and important for the above.
- Touch is also quite important for games I'd say, amongst all the important stuff like knowing when something hurts which generally means you need to stop the cause from happening to stop the risk of damage.
- Taste is well, while not completely important, I love food and don't wanna miss out on bacon, curry and fajitas.
As for smell, sure some things smell nice and I'd be missing them but some things smell nasty too, yes some things taste bad but you just don't put them in your mouth.

No I think you can use smell even if you cant taste but if you take away smell you also loss the ability to taste anything except the most basic five tastesHorny Ico said:
I'd say taste, but only because losing any of the other four would be devastating to me.
With no sight, I could never see another sunrise.
With no hearing, I would lose the music that drives me each day.
With no touch, I could never feel the embrace of a close friend.
With no smell, I couldn't enjoy the air after a fresh rain.

Taste
You can have a better life without it. There is no need to have it. You can tell if food is rotten without it and you wouldn't have the desire to eat junk food either.

Goodbye touch, probably the most useful of them seeing as knowing when I need medical attention from physical wounds as well as the ability to ejaculate normally would also be quite a problem. However the lack of pain would allow me to push myself to further limits and that could be quite interesting.
I would say smell. My sense of smell was temporarily damaged, and when it came back it was awesome!
Even so, smell. (Assuming taste somehow worked regardless.) I love tasting things, and everything else is kind of vital.

Losing taste doesn't matter because you're brain smells it and then associates that smell with what what your eating should taste like - so you basically still taste it. My parents friend lost his taste in his sleep, but he can still taste through smell. That's why people make weird taste comparisons to things they've never tasted, because they've smell-tasted them

Taste can stuff it. Smell is a large part of the enjoyment of food anyway, plus more important in detecting danger (smoke, gas).
Fuck I dunno. I really do need all of them. Erm...smell, I guess. It's the LEAST necessary, but I'd still never want to lose it.
Smell.
Don't wanna give up sight/hearing due to my love for music and games. Can't give up taste(though smell is very related) since food would get boring, and getting rid of touch would kind of suck.

Definitely taste. It's the one sense I don't need to survive in the wild.
I would literally die if I lost my hearing. I <3 my music.

Smell, only because I don't have a great sense of one to begin with. I have some of the worst sinus problems that my doctor has ever seen and most of the time, my nose is stuffed up.
But on the weird side, I've got an amazing sense of taste. And I'm one of the few people who can talk with a stuffy nose and you will never know it.
