Keep in mind, this thread started literally just over a year ago, when there had only ever been one survivor thread, and the whole thing with having five million categories in the Rock Album Survivor thread wasn't yet a thing. I had something like twenty categories already, and wasn't looking to throw in all that many more at the time.
But stoner and sludge
were separate from doom, in case that wasn't clear. I combined stoner and sludge, though, because A.) there's a lot of overlap, and B.) it's surprisingly difficult to find straight up sludge albums due to post-metal being considered "atmospheric sludge". I'd look for albums to put into sludge and get a bunch of Neurosis and Isis albums, cause that's exactly what I want when looking for something like Eyehategod or Down.
I honestly don't remember if I added drone later on, though, or if it was always its own list. I think it's the former. So that would be why stoner and sludge are combined and drone isn't.
