Some time ago when Lightroom first came out, I used the 'sort by focal length' option and was surprised to find that 80% of my photographs (I had 3-4000 loaded at the time) were within the range 35mm - 80mm. And 70% of those shots were taken with the same TWO lenses.
The 24-70 FX AFS and the 18-105mm DX AFS.
The former with the D3, the latter with my 'hobby' camera body of the time. (eg D90, D300,).
I dont know if my photography was controlled by the attached lens ...or the favourite lens was always attached and therefore controlled the focal length? Not sure which way round it was.
But it does seem as though, despite having a good range of lenses fron 14mm - 500mm, I settle for one lens (on each body) for most of my shooting.
Of course, as Robert says, if you have a special project eg wildlife, sports, macro you need to use the best lens you have for the job.
