The Sure SM58 you can't go wrong with. As indestructible as you could need for a mic, decent quality for practicing and won't break the bank.
http://www.zzounds.com/item--SHUSM58 It's quite expensive from there, but you can probably pick one up second hand cheaply on ebay. Although if it is too much then you could also get http://www.zzounds.com/item--SHUPG58 which is a cheaper model. --------------------  Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.

+1 for the Shure SM 58 (or a 57) for a great general purpose first mic. Used 58s for years in gigs and they are a good, all round, solid, good quality mic.

+1 for SM-58
But if you are on a tight budget I'm guessing the MS-58 could be for you, yes you heard me MS-58  Fame MS-58 I think they make descent stuff. I got a Fame 4x12 cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30's in it and it sounds just great! MS-58... I wonder where they get all their ideas from

I haven't heard this or anything but the reviews say it's awesome. Its a USB mic for your computer, so you don't have to have another amp, just plug it in and turn up your comp speakers,
http://cgi.ebay.ca/NADY-USB-24M-USB-Microp...bayphotohosting So, not sure if you have another amp to use already, but this could be a cheaper option for you if your just playing by yourself. Blue has one called the SNOWBALL which I'm really thinking of trying out. It's $100 Cdn on ebay plus shipping though... Now I have a question. I DO have another amp to use (my Peavey Rage 158) is there a good mic that uses the 1/4" phono plug? or are most of them the 3 prong plugs? Or maybe should I just go with the USB mic? -------------------- Guitars:

Or get an XLR (3 prongs) to 1/4 inch lead... Can't say I've ever come across a pro quality mic that wasn't xlr but haven't yet seen/used the USBs. One important bit for the Blue - it really needs a shockmount, and this is true of most mics. A Blue shock will probably cost around another 50USD.
