A second for Hungerford. Lang's Algebra is a horrible book. It was the course book in grad school but we all studied from Hungerford. Hungerford is very detailed with lots of proofs and examples. Jacobson's Basic Algebra I & II is also very good but very sparse. I learned more from Jacobson but Hungerford is a great reference.
