Mics i like
As far as condenser mics go, I can recommend the Audio-Technica AT2020 if you are on a budget or the AT4040 if you can afford it.
I've also used the Behringer B-1 ($99) which works well also.
I have only used the SM57's and 58's for live music - not in a studio setting. I would agree with others that there are better dynamic mics out there if you don't want to use the more sensitive condenser mics. Really depends on how quiet your 'booth' can get.

I see AT4040s and AT4033s go used all the time for the same price the AT2020 goes for new.

"warm" means good low-mid response. it's less of a piercing sound than "bright" which is treble heavy.

Sell a kidney and get a U87. You can live without a kidney, but a studio can't live without a U87

Since the OP's "broad" question indicates a rather high level of noob-ness, I'm going to assume that he/she does not have access to any decent preamps. I think the 57's and 58's are very functional mics but I think if you're going to try to record vocals and acoustic guitar (for example), the dodgy preamps on most entry level interfaces would probably need to be cranked in to the noisy zone. Therefore, I'd recommend spending a few hundy on a LDC for a good starter all-purpose mic.
