Well, it's a list of shmups, mostly for the 360, that everyone should play. In no particular order.

The classic games bunched together. I've drained far too many hours in this collection.
My first 'dirty-old-man' japanese shmup. Very well done, but in the genre of 'makes me feel dirty having it'.
This was surprisingly not a 'dirty-old-man' shmup. It's quite challenging but not impossible, definitely worth a play if you can get a copy.
Addicting shmup gameplay with an actually intriguing story. Sold. Also: death piano.
Probably the first SHMUP I played on my parents computer when I was a kid. It was the game to turn me on to the genre.
it's classic in its ridiculosity. Plus, it's actually a solid SHMUP
Okay, technically it's not really a shmup. But, it's close enough to me to be on the list.
Another unforgiving game, that is still unbelievably satisfying to play.
'dirty old man'. I can't help but feel like a bad person even simply looking at the box art. The game itself plays solidly and the gradius style power-ups and customizations are super cool. Still not my favorite, but definitely one everyone should play.
Out of the 90s, it's a really excellent showcase of the hell of bullets.
