Top 25 Sludge Metal

Welcome to the results of Shreddit’s Sludge Metal vote!

Thank you to all of you who took part. We only had around 50 responses this time, which could because the vote was over a shorter amount of time or because of popularity of sludge. Who knows? Either way, 50 isn't too bad and it gives us enough data to play with.

For those out of the loop: These votes originated on this sub's official Discord server, where we were having top 25 subgenre votes because we are nerds with too much free time it was a fun as a community to compare notes and see what makes each other tick. Due to the popularity of those votes we decided to open them up to the Shreddit community at large, resulting in 5 fantastic votes so far: Thrash, Death Metal, Trad, Doom, Black, Grindcore, Power, and now SLUDGE!

As always, thank you to mr fleshgolem and his fleshbot for helping to count the votes.

Without further ado, here are the results:

As for the album charts, I don't think we have them collected in an imgur library yet. However, if you'd like to browse them they are still pinned in the vote channel over on our Discord.

Regarding the next vote: I am not sure where we stand now. We have done most of the 'big' genres, so perhaps now is the time to start focusing on more specific subgenres, scenes and the like. I suggested a post-2000 black metal vote and that seems to have had an eager reception, so what are your thoughts?

EDIT: The charts can now be found here.
