Why are there so many different microphones?
Different microphones are designed for different jobs. In addition to this there may be different microphones for the same job. Microphones come in many variations, different Polar Patterns, different Sensitivity, different Frequency Response and differing Proximity Effects.
What are ?polar patterns??
The "polar pattern" of a microphone indicates its sensitivity to sounds arriving from different directions. Omnidirectional microphones "hear" equally well in all directions while all others prefer sound from one (unidirectional) or two (bidirectional) directions.

Most Valuable Guitar
Eric Clapton's 'Blackie' Fender Stratocaster guitar sold for $959,500, to US chain The Guitar Centre at Christie's in New York, USA on June 24, 2004.
Most Albums On US Chart Simultaneously
The record for the most albums on the US Top 200 at the same time is seven, held jointly by The Beatles, The Monkees and U2. In 1979, U2's lead singer Bono said "I want to replace the bands in the charts now, because I think we're better." The band has done pretty well on that front ? over 20 years later they're still producing hits after releasing 15 albums. The Beatles are still played all over the world. They have the most number one hits on the US singles chart to their name, with 20. The Monkees, well they might not have the same appeal, but many old rockers still love them.
