Do I listen to Pearl Jam too much

Do you think it's possible to listen to Pearl Jam too much? My housemates keep giving me grief about the fact that i listen to Pearl Jam all the time. Admittedly they do like a couple of songs; Black, Daughter, DTE. But they think i'm obsessed.
I don't think a single day goes by without me listening to at least one PJ song.
The rest of my CD collection is eclipsed by the amount of Pearl Jam CDs i have.
I keep telling myself it's just a phase, and they'll come a time when i don't listen to their music as much, (like what happened to me with Guns and Roses and Queen), but it's been ten years now, and i still can't get enough. I go through Pearl Jam album phases. Like at the moment i can't seem to stop listening to Ten.
It's just that every other band seems to pale in comparison to Pearl Jam. No other songs have their intensity or emotional resonance.
I just can't get enough.
Please tell me i'm okay

I agree, tell your roommates that "its a free country" and you can listen to whatever you want as often as you want....
c-
First of i think you can never have too much pearl jam, in all seriousness i think it's cool to be passionate about something, whatever that thing is. I hear PJ every day too, I've been hearing Riot Act every day since it came out, i heard no code religiosly every day since it came out untill Yield came out.
You are okay, its music it was made for YOU to enjoy, okay!
i've got hundreds of cds of other bands, but i pretty much go through a boot a day, then i rotate them back again. i have a long commute, which makes it easier. plus using headphones means i can tune out all the other chatter on the bus.
sometimes my over-pearl-jamming scares me. i try to tone it down a bit if i've got someone in my car, though. i feel like sometimes i'm forcing it on them. so i try to be polite.
i was on a 4-hour road trip with one of my sisters recently, and i tried my damndest to put some variety in the CD changer, but after a bit too much carole king and counting crows, at one point i was like, "i can't take this, i GOTTA listen to some pearl jam!" hell, i was driving, you can't do 80 mph to tapestry.
this one time, i had these live pj songs on my comp but they werent named, so i put the names on them and obviously would have to listen to it to know which song it was....then my dad comes along...so he says "dont you listen to anything else besides pearl jam?" i felt embarrased there
I am a man, I am advanced.....I am the first man to borrow Stone's leather pants!
my sister keeps telling me that i should listen to other music too, and that i shouldn't erm.. "get" all those boots
nearly everybody who knows me, and espacially my friends, know that i nearly only listen to pj
when i start to sing a song quietly, they look at me and say: pearl jam, huh?
When he was six, he believed that the moon overhead followed him
By nine, he deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact, no trade-backs
So this is what it's like to be an adult?
If he only knew now what he knew then
omg
i totally love carole king too. that is funny shizznet, yo
i have played games with pieces and rules
If I am not near to PJ's albums I sing their songs and I still enjoy.
In my vision of rock I can never seperate music from love and relationship with partner(s). I use PJ's energy to get inspiration to write some lyrics for girl. You enjoy in PJ's music because of their huge life-energy, and that's why they sound brilliant...
As mentioned, nothing wrong with being passionate about something and enjoying it to it's fullest extent.
