Most Oversaturated Rock/Metal Bands on TheTopTens
I’ve done oversaturated rock and metal songs, but I haven’t done bands.
Nirvana was an American grunge band that was formed in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987. Nirvana disbanded after Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994. The drummer of the band, David Grohl, went on to start the Foo-Fighters, an alternative rock band. ...read more. They're overrated, yes. But I wouldn't say they Kurt Cobain couldn't write or play that well. The lyrics did speak to a generation of early 90s kids. And the vocal notes Kurt sings on the chorus of Smells Like Teen Spirit are higher than what Bruce Dickinson sings on The Trooper. (It's a high B I believe)
But I'm still not a big fan.

I like them but they’re oversaturated. Hail To The King sucked, but at least it had a few saving graces.

They rose to fame with their 1986 album Reign in Blood, and is credited as one of the big four of thrash metal bands, the others being Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax. ...read more. Really? In the top ten best metal bands? They’re probably the worst in the big four of thrash metal, and almost all of their 90’s output sucked. Repentless is one of the few good albums since Seasons In The Abyss.
AC/DC are a Australian hard rock band, formed in November 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus Young, who continued as members until Malcolm's illness and departure in 2014 . They were fronted by Bon Scott until his untimely death due to alcohol poisoning in 1979, after which they hired Brian Johnson to front the band.
Commonly referred to as a hard rock or blues rock band. They’re repetitive and they lack variety. Still one of the better bands on the list, though.

Alice in Chains is an American grunge/alternative metal band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987 by guitarist and songwriter Jerry Cantrell and original lead vocalist Layne Staley. Layne Stayley is an overrated singer and Man In The Box is overplayed. If I had to put the big four of grunge from best to worst it would go: Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana.
