A pox on all that answer with common, pride, and anything similar. So silly.

I REGRET NOTHING
You could go about life without smelling or tasting anything, but life without the other 3 senses would be more difficult.
Helen Keller couldn't see or hear, but she could feel movement and vibrations from sound. So, I'd have to go with touch.
If I only had hearing, I would be fine. Visual is a second for me.
Touch, hearing, then sight.
Smell helps me out whenever Dad sends Emilio's do-gooder ass over to hide my drugs.
Sight is number 1 for me. Kind of hard to shoot video and take pictures if you can't see a damn thing. Hearing is second cause talking is a big part of life, and subtitles in movies help, but it's nice to hear everything. It's also really annoying going to a theater where the audio sucks and you constantly miss words or phrases here or there. Also sucks when you have to put on subtitles every now and then when watching movies in your own home.
Over the past 3 or 4 years, my sense of smell has almost completely disappeared and it suuuucks. I can smell a tiny little bit, but 95% of the time I have this permanent burnt smell of gasoline and charcoal burned into my nose. FUN.
But I would have to say hearing as well. I could handle losing my sight, and I've dealt with the smell thing for so long now, but losing my hearing would drive me insane.
After much internal debating, it's hearing. Without hearing there's no music, and without music, I go insane.
Being blind has its perks....
