In terms of non-comedic spoken word (although there are laffs to be found herein), I'd recommend PRAYING MANTIS by Jim Carroll and THE UGLY ONE WITH THE JEWELS AND OTHER STORIES by Laurie Anderson. I'm a big fan of Spalding Grey, but his recorded output never seems to capture his schtick adequately.
I *HATE* spoken-word poetry with a vengeance, however. The self-righteousness, the exaggerated cadence, the gesticulation -- it all makes me wanna barf. "Def Poetry Jam" on Broadway is enough to make me wanna saw off my ears that I may never face the risk of experiencing it.

Charles Spearin (Do Make Say Think) just did an awesome sorta spoken word album. He recorded his neighbours! It's really good, like The Books. Old guy talking about growin up with 13 siblings. Old woman telling Spearin she loves him :) Children mumbling. etc.
