Think I'm going with a Shure SM57, seems to be a good all rounder until I know a bit more about mics. Thanks for the info though.
The SM57 is generally used for mic-ing guitar cabinets and some drums. Not the best overall mic for vocals and sources requiring a broad range.
It may be the best vocal mic for under $100 though..

meh...I care not for it...

A friend @ work let me try out an AKG C2000b, and I found it to be very natural without capturing evry sound in the room ( a problem for most home recording arteestsss).

A really great all around mic is an EV RE-20. Great on vocals, guitar cabs, kick drums, bass cabs.....etc.
Excellent mic imo.

For £75 I bought a pair of Samson C02 Condenser mics, and I was expecting them to be crap, but to my ears they seem really good (and I have used them for many different purposes including vocals and stereo miking performances).

These are a handful of some of the worlds BEST microphones:
Neumann U47
Neumann M49
Neumann U67
AKG C12
Telefunken ELA M251
ALL excellent but all very expensive..ie.a few thousand each.
Also highly recommend the VST plugin, Vocal Magic..
Only $40 and a great way to get a smart sounding vocal with most microphones.
Also a good quality Mic-pre and a vocal booth can be very helpful.
