Can we all agree that Crowbar is the epitome and best of sludge metal though?:
That Crowbar song? Nah. This is a very good candidate for the best sludge/post-metal tune in my book:

Apparently the experiment was making punk that sounds exactly like metal.

Not really. It has a lot of metal in it but it almost never crosses the line from experimental hardcore whatever. I think they're as metal as Black Sabbath but the different time periods have completely different context that matters.

if you're talking about full albums I guess that's kinda true, somewhat, but they have an immensely vast amount of strictly metal tracks.

I'm talking about the band's career and approach to music as a whole. They make some metal but they're not a metal band.

On this we can 100% agree on. Unless we're also talking about other Melvins songs.
