ok, i'm sure you all get this question all the time, but even so, i need help.
i'm currently recording vocals using an sm57 straight into my computer. it's good for what it is, but i'm not crazy about how it sounds. if you click below you can hear some songs i've recorded using that mic for vocals.

so....i need an upgrade. i want a fairly professional sounding dedicated vocal mic. something clear and bright, but not so bright it sounds metallic. but also not warbly and muddy. just a great sound. lol
click the link below and listen to the song titled "English Garden." that is the vocal sound i want. the song is by Silverchair. the well balanced presence of the vocals is superb and exactly what i'm after.

my budget is around $250....$300 at the very most. and i'm looking to buy online....so if a mic retails for 500 but is $275 online, that's fine...obviously.
any help? i'd greatly appreciate it. this is actually going to be my girlfriend's gift to me this christmas, so i'm looking to settle on something today so we can place the order asap.
thanks for the help!
