Well I don't think Silversun Pickups are THAT shoegazey (okay so they use a lot of guitar overdubs, but other than that...) and shoegaze has become sort of a catch-all signifier used to describe anything that has a gauzy sound or a lot of reverb. That being said, shoegaze is awesome.

The three 'defining' albums of the first wave of shoegaze in the late eighties and early nineties are
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Ride - Nowhere
Slowdive - Souvlaki

However, if you like the Silversun Pickups then you might like more stuff where people wed the guitar effects of shoegaze to big hooks, so you might want to check out
Kitchens of Distinction - Love Is Hell
and Lush - Split
as well as Gish by the Smashing Pumpkins if you haven't yet...
