i've never used it, but i have heard good things:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

a friend of mine used Propellerhead Reason to make some pretty complicated songs, but it has a steep learning curve. Very expensive, but not if you know where to look (ahem, check torrents)

There is another program I have used (not successfully) called FL Studio (also called Fruity Loops). More intended for techno and stuff, but you may be able to adapt it for your uses.

If you're looking for something to use that's bare bones (like no effects proccessing other than the amp/heads/etc.) then you can get away with some ridiculously easy stuff. You don't need insanely expensive stuff like ProTools...although ProTools is great if you want to add things like effects after something's recorded. I'd recommend something like Cakewalk or even Cool Edit Pro. Cakewalk is just as easy to use as the name implies...Cool Edit is more of an editing tool but I'm pretty sure it can record as well. I've always used Cool Edit more as a tool to clean up sound and it's worked really well with all of the plugins.
