Well, I got into MBV because Copper Blue and Beaster by Sugar were heavily influenced by Loveless. Neither of those is exactly shoegazer, but they are (along with Loveless) among my very favorite records of all time. Be warned that Beaster is not for the faint of heart.
I was never really "into" shoegazer per se as a whole and so I don't actually know much about the following bands, but the other major shoegazer bands were Ride and Swervedriver.
That's just off the top of my head, maybe I'll have something more later.
