As far as newer music is concerned, I think the best releases recently have been Widowspeak's s/t and Crystal Stilts' In Love With Oblivion. Widowspeak do a pretty nice cover of Wicked Game by Chris Isaak which is the B-side to their Gun Shy single.

W/r/t actual Shoegaze (from the 90s) I feel like Delaware by Drop Nineteens is probably my favorite record, it's easily the one I come back to most. Even though they get overshadowed by the bigger names in the genre a lot of the time, they really hold their own. Pale Saints are also rad as hell.

Also here's a whole shitload of words about Loveless some nerd wrote for a thesis: http://etd.lib.fsu.edu/theses/available/etd-04102006-103749/unrestricted/fullthesis-1.pdf it's actually a pretty interesting read if you've got an hour or three to kill and you're willing to read that much about one album.
