Swiv, Battle Squadron and Silk worm are all favs of mine. :)

R-type's also a pretty decent arcade conversion but I allways found it rock hard to play.

My favorites are

Xenon + Xenon 2 mainly because they are tough but have that one more go addictive quality.

Goldrunner but maybe a little to tough, the music makes up for it though!

I'll second Xenon II.  With a full weapons kit and the Bomb the Bass theme banging away it really is a shmup fest.  Very few shooters get this crazy.

Deluxe Galaga is excellent.

Personal faves other than that include Apidya, Project-X Special Edition (Not the original.  It's far too difficult and unforgiving), SWIV and Banshee.  Oh and a special mention for Plutos which is very under-appreciated in my opinion.

Hybris and Battle Squadron for vertical.
Apidya and Project X for horizontal.
There, finally some decent shoot 'em ups in this thread :P ;)

Hypothesis: Current scientific thought suggests we have already achieved max rocking level.

Perhaps max-rocking levels could be radically increased with creation of 30ft tall motion controlled guitar thrashing robot simulacrum.

Result: We rocked the f*ck out.
