The 'classic' mic for that purpose seems to be the SM57

+1 for Shure. SM57 can take a beating.

The Shure SM57 is a no-brainer indeed. Can be used for about anything.

For something different you can try the Sennheiser e609:

or was it the 906?

I usually just hang it in front of a speaker, dangling on it's cable:

I also like the phantom powered but dynamic BLUE Ball for this task. It sounds very much like a condenser but can handle SPLs like any other dynamic mic. Plus it doesn't have that honky midrange the SM57 does. You also can't go wrong with a used MD-421.

+1 for 57. however, hovmod claims they can take a beating which I don't really agree with. If you are looking for a well constructed dynamics you may wanna check out the audix series.
