It so much depends on the "style" of photography you like to do. If you are into wildlife, you will have to have a long lens. If you shoot mostly people and faces and expressions I would say a 70 to 135 mm lens is ideal, unless you shoot a lot of large groups.
Of course all of those focal lengths are assuming a full size sensor. If you have the typical Prosumer level camera and a smaller than full frame sensor all of those focal lengths are going to need to have the conversion factor included.
Back in the olden days of film I did a lot of journalism photography and I was in the press photographers association. I usually had one camera with a 28 mm lens and another camera with a 55 to 200 zoom. That covered most of what I needed. I can tell you running with two cameras around your neck in 100+ degree heat in the middle of a riot is not much fun, but it beats wedding photography which I did lots of.
