Well it's time for Melodic Death Metal. It's a bit difficult to pick a consensus on the 4 biggest bands (some say it's the Gothenburg three plus Carcass while others claim to be Amorphis, Children Of Bodom, Amon Amrarth and Arch Enemy). So this time everyone's on!
1990 to 1994:
Amorphis - Tales From The Thousand Lakes
At The Gates - Terminal Spirit Disease
Carcass - Heartwork
Desultory - Bitterness
Edge Of Sanity - Until Eternity Ends
Hipocrisy - The Fourth Dimension
In Flames - Subterranean
Katatonia - Brave Murder Day
Tiamat - The Astral Sleep
Tiamat - Clouds
1995 to 1999
At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul
Dark Tranquillity - The Gallery
Dark Tranquillity - The Mind's I
Dissection - Storm Of The Lights Bane
Edge Of Sanity - Crimson
In Flames - The Jester Race
In Flames - Whoracle
Opeth - Morningrise
Opeth - Still Life
Sentenced - Amok
2000 to 2004

In Flames - Come Clarity
In Flames - A Sense Of Purpose
In Flames - The Mirror's Truth
Requiem Laus - The Eternal Plague

2010 to today
At The Gates - At War With Reality
Arsames - Immortal Identity
Carcass - Surgical Steel
Carcass - Surgical Remission/ Surplus Steel
Carcass - Despicable
Crescent - Pyramid Slaves
Echidna - Dawn Of The Sociopath
Requiem Laus - As Long As Darkness Bleeds

Damn... so much good stuff left out in the first decade and then I could only find litle more records I like (while fitting the genre).
P.S. : Today I remembered of two excellent bands from my country (Requeim Laus and Theriomorphic) as well as Arsames from Iran... mn do we tend to forget things that are closer to us! Check these guys for they are truly great. Well... 40 albums for a 31 year span. Could be better but overall not bad.
