Rode NT1's and NT2's or whatever the newer modules are called are good - but avoid AKG C1000's - they're thin, too bright and shit for vocals. i'd rather use an sm58....

What sorta pres were they using on the 58's though? I mean, you could be plugging a U47 into a behringer pre and it would still sound shit
Couldn't agree more on the C1000s....I'd recommend Rode NT1A's....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rode-NT1A-Stud...QQcmdZViewItem Mines have been relegated to overheads, but they sound great...
EDIT...just read it was actually 57's they used on the lead vocals (although the backing vocals were U87's) with a Neve 8038 desk with 1073 EQ and 1176 compressor on the vocals (aswell as guitars)...don't expect this sound from a 57 at home kids....
