Re: great ShoeGaze albums of all time...
What about Astrobrite and Lovesliescrushing? Lovesliescrushing, especially on later album, are so experimental they rather fall into Ambient category, but Astrobrite is a juicy even-noisier version of MBV. You would probably enjoy Astrobrite if you find most shoegaze bands too watered-down in comparison with Loveless. (by the way, any Ecstasy of Saint Theresa fans over here? "Sussurate" is excellent.)
Also, any mention of All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors?
