If you can play japanese games on there, then you need to get the Cave PS2 ports. This includes Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou, ESP Galuda, Mushihime-sama, and Ibara. IMO those are the best shmups on PS2 (some of the best shmups PERIOD), so those should be priority one.

This topic has been run to the ground so much it's even mentioned in the Board FAQ

Also using the search function will reveal several threads asking the same thing. Few examples.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.
