Musicianship is important, but showmanship is equally so. Performing live takes a certain energy; if you're into it, I'm into it.
High energy bands are contagious. That's what makes groups like Barenaked Ladies or Rocket From the Crypt so great live - they really dig their music and they have a great time onstage.
