Tool is the epitome of a band that overdoes it. They are extremely pretentious when it comes to their lyrics and song structure. I actually appreciate Adam Jones's guitar and Maynard's voice sometimes hits it. They are listenable.
Dream Theater is a wankfest for the sake of being a wankfest. When it comes to muscianship, they overdo it.
Those are obvious, but they weren't mentioned yet.
