I have my own collection of microphones and my own opinions about what would constitute the top 5-10 mics to use for home recording. But there are a lot of mics out there to choose from and it would be difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to try them all. So it is nice to get a different perspective on these things from time to time.
In my case, I would probably list the Rode NT2-A, Shure SM81, Audio-Technica AT2035, AKG C3000, Sennheiser MKH416, and Oktava MK-319 as great choices for my top 6.
Lewin Barringer put out the below video talking about his 6 favorite mics for home recording, which are very different from the ones on my list. In fact there is not a single mic in common to the two lists.
Anyway, see below for the video from Lewin:
