After writing up only a 5th of the list so far i have enough to start posting it. I will post it in sections according to Genre. So this post is going to be a Melodic Death Metal update to the list and maybe next i will do a Symphonic Black Metal update. Note that these arent all the MDM songs on the list. There will be several updates for each Genre on the list. MDM is probably going to get a lot of attention since Amon Amarth, In Flames and Dark Tranquillity are so awesome. I will try and spread the best songs out between different updates. Now to get started, and theres no better way to start a list of the greatest metal songs than with Only For The Weak. Enjoy:

Description of MDM from Wikipedia, although i have no idea where the NWOBHM part came from. As far as im concerned NWOBHM has nothing to do with the far superior MDM:
Melodic death metal is a subgenre of death metal which combines the melody of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) with the intensity of death metal. The genre is also known as Gothenburg metal, a reference to the city in Sweden where it originated. Originally the genre combined the harmony style and groove melodies of heavy metal with the harsh thrashing sound and vocals of death metal. Later the genre evolved due to many different influences, a notable evolution in the genre being the addition of keyboards. Melodic death metal contains more melodic guitar riffs, melodic solos, and acoustic guitar work than traditional death metal. It also contains more comprehensible lyrics with traditional death growl and screaming vocal input.
