A general starting place will be My Bloody Valentine's album Loveless which is usually agreed to be the album that kickstarted the genre. There are a lot of different directions you could go from there, but personally, one of my favorite releases is Guilty of Everything by Nothing as a more modern take on shoegaze. (mid 2010's vs 90's) Additionally, there are some critically acclaimed releases in extensions of the genre like post-metal with Deafheaven's album Sunbather being a great entry into that particular sub-genre. Hope that gives you a bit of a starting off point!
