If you can't smell anymore you can't taste :), but, I've voted smell. I really need to see, touch and hear, otherwise I can't play piano anymore.

Taste is the crudest of the senses.  Two-thirds of the enjoyment of food is smell.  The rest of the senses all mean too much to me to give up.

smell.  i am allergic to some things (make me sneeze)...so i'd probably go with smell.  of course that sense affects taste, so i would go with the above about taste.  someone once said that if you could eliminate eating, there would be much more time for other things (that it was a waste of time).
do you know why benches fall apart?  it is because they have lids with little tiny hinges so you can store music inside them.  hint:  buy a bench that does not hinge.  buy it for sturdiness.
