First couple of Ride EPs, Slowdive for sure. And believe it or not, the first EPs and first album by Verve (before they had to change their name to "The Verve) still qualify as "best of their time" in my mind. "A Storm In Heaven" is still awesome, despite how lame they became later on.
Loop is one of my favorite bands ever, but I do not see them as "shoegazer" at all. Too dark, too heavy, drugged up but not super blissed-out. Still, absolutely essential.
