I'd go with

MBV - To Here Knows When
Slowdive - Melon Yellow
Ride - Nowhere
MBV - Lose My Breath
The Boo Radleys - Firesky

Come In Alone-MBV probably summerizes the feeling I get when I think of shoegaze in general. So that one and...

Touched/When You Sleep in that order is probably my second favorite.

The more I listen to My Bloody Valentine (studio or live) the more I wonder what the fuss is about actually :o

EDIT: I mean I'm referring to their songwriting skills.

MBV - Swallow. Heard it yesterday for the first time and since then I played it about 40 times.

Agree 100%, Torn Curtain. Actually could often be a surprisingly boring band besides some BRILLIANT songs.
