Lush.

1. Lush most definitely did not "start" the shoegaze genre, not by a longshot.
2. I love Lush.
3. However, they are very far from what the OP wants - Lush does not have loud distorted wall-of-guitar, not in the slightest. If we're going to recommend Lush, may as well throw in The Church and Chameleons and Echo and the Bunnymen and hell, even the Psychedelic Furs.
4. Basically what I am saying is that Lush has shoegaze elements, like the bands above, but are not really representative of what the OP was asking for, which was more of the "earbleeding" shoegaze sound.

Seconding all of those recommendations, though again with the caveat that those bands are "quiet" while the OP seems to want "loud".
I would also say that The New Year (which is basically Bedhead under a new name, since the Brothers Kadane are still the masterminds) are every bit as good and sometimes better than Bedhead. All that said, the best thing Bedhead was ever a part of is the Macha Loved Bedhead collaboration EP.
Caspian:
I enjoy Low but from what I've heard it's basically exactly the opposite of what I'm looking for. Loud and distorted is the key word here.
Joseph:
I think that's really only in comparison to the albums that came before though.
Spinless:
By 'soon' I think Tommy meant the guys said "Maybe mid 2008".
...Low, Codeine, Bedhead and TRHP...shoegaze?
I know you like recommending them, but that one is a stretch.
