A ranger would not have songs, a ranger would be a hunter of the wilds/forests rather than an entertainer who is good with a bow.

I'll try to make it more easier to understand. When people request ranger, they are looking for a class and is like a bard but with a different 'feel' than that of the bard. They still want a ranged DPS, but they want more of a dedicated DPS than one that also has songs that buff/debuff. They want a hunter, someone skilled in woodland survival and guerrilla tactics. For example, I want my archer character to be a forest sniper rather than a flamboyant fleet of foot singer. Thus I want a Ranger than the Bard we're all stuck with.
