In fact, I've never been a big Pearl Jam fan, but they earned a lot of my respect when they stopped playing the major label game, started fighting for real causes, and backed Nader in the presidential campaign.
As far as their music goes, though, I'm not really into it... but then, I haven't listened to much of their newer stuff. I might get a cd or two and do some catching up, now that you've brought it up.

Actually no, I am not kidding.
I wasn't trying to turn something that they should be respected for against them and I am also pretty familiar with what they were fighting against was and tried to stay informed (for a while).
But like all the other artists that have there own pet causes however worthy (Sting and the Amazon Rain Forest....), when I start to associate their music with them pitching something, I tune out.
