For sure, I think their discography is pretty damn strong (I can't speak for two most recent releases though, haven't listened to them).

Pearl Jam has somewhat of a cult following - and I don't know exactly how they got that cult following. But I've seen the "Alive guy/stickman" tattoo on a fair number of strangers.

Back in 2007, they released a 7CD boxset called 'Live at the Gorge' which collects three very strong live performances. 100+ songs performed, many including b-sides, covers and deep cuts. If you get a chance to check it out, it's worth it.

I'm not and have never been a big fan of Yield though. I've always viewed it as a bit of a transitory record for them, after No Code (which is a better album imo). I think my two favorites from them are Binaural and Vitalogy. Good stuff.

As for what I'm currently listening to
