You don't say where you live, your hardiness zone, how much space you have, or the sun conditions so it would be difficult to say. Since you considered blue spruce at the nursery, I'm thinking you are in zone 8 or colder, full sun and have lots of room for the width. Here's a zip code zone finder if you don't know your zone.

With all that Arborvitae comes to mind. There are several cultivars, but most get to 30' to 50' eventually.

You may get suggestions about Leyland cypress as well. These get to be very large around and tall. They are prone to diseases and have fallen out of favor. Though this site is in the UK, it has some good info.
