johnnynoony,
I hope you understand nobody was making fun of you or your question.
I'm far from an expert in this field, but if you are pretty much starting out, my personal advice is to try as much different gear as possible. That also means I think you should get two or three inexpensive mics that are very different in charachter, rather than get a single expensive mic. (For example a large diaphragm condenser, a small diapragm condenser and a dynamic). The reason is you will get better results using different mics on different instruments. The other reason is that you will learn so much more by trying the different types of mics on different applications instead of just using one mic for everything. You will gradually learn what it is you want from a mic, so you can make wiser decisions in the future when you are considering the high end stuff.
For the same reasons I will also encourage you to to borrow stuff from friends, or hang out in other studios and listen to their gear. You can make shootouts of your own and listen to shootouts posted here to learn about how different mics sound.
So if you don't have them already, I would recommend you to get at least one Shure SM57, Marshall 603 (I haven't tried that myself but some people I trust praise it) and Behringer ECM8000. If I'm not totally way out of line, that should set you back about $200 and leave you with a very good start on a mic locker. When it comes to large diaphragm condensers, I guess it's about what budget constraints you have. In the inexpensive end Studio Projects and Marshall seem to have quite a few followers. I myself have the Rode NTK and the Audio Technica 4050, which I suppose are middle of the road price wise. Two pretty different sounding mics, both very good ones.
And - finally - to answer your question:
No, there is no reason whatsoever to ignore all mics that don't have tubes in them. Whoever says they wouldn't buy anything but a tube mic is an idiot who won't get very good recordings.
Hope this helps!
