OK, Zeppelin, I see your point, sorry about going a little bit crazy. But I still agree with Raskolnikov, if you aren't finding energy in bands, go to some gigs. I guess U2 began in the 80s but their shows have so much energy you pend the next week coming down off the high. Pearl Jam and Chili Peppers do good shows, I haven't seen Radiohead perform, but - though their music has an ambient, sleepy quality to it- I don't thikn they are boring. Yes, AC/DC have energy, but part of it is because that's what their music is right for, and Hendrix never used to prance around much, he would often stand completely still for the whole peformance, occaisionally playing the guitar with his teeth. I agree that energy is very important though, but I have been to very few gigs in my local area that I haven't felt a buzz from seeing.
