...in terms of gameplay, graphics, or style?

Top 25 might be misleading. But just searching for "influential" gave me:

influential
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=4469, wherein CIT gives a simple list
influential w/list
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=6495
innovative
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=6481, with a good list by Icarus, some useful discussion
most important ten
http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=7277, interesting and agreeable choices by bloodflowers, CIT (again)

Have a good reading

Damn - so many great people on these threads that I don't see around anymore: Marc, benstylus, pixelcorps, it290, Cpt Ahar...
