There are a few bands I collect stuff from, but none of them as passionately as I do with Pearl Jam haha.
At one point I got into Silverchair as well, and A Perfect Circle.
(I have a list of singles and promos of them, so let me know if you are looking for certain items, I am selling or trading these)
But serious collecting besides Pearl Jam:
I was a big GRUNGE fan for years, still am.
Not the Nirvana grunge, but the 1985-1991 grunge.
I have collected a lot of Sub Pop vinyls, all first pressings, and most of them are very rare.
Here's a small part of the collection:

So, now I mainly collect PJ.
As Norman said, I also collect Jonah Matranga stuff.
Norman has a way bigger collection again, haha, but I just try to get my hands on his various projects and pressings as well.
I was very happy when we got to play a whole tour with him with my old band in 2006, and I got to play drums for him on stage. Playing some of my favorite songs with one of my favorite singers! hehe...
(When he spend some nights at my place, Jonah said he was impressed by my Pearl Jam collection haha!)
Other bands I love are "The Good Life" and "Cursive".
I collect stuff from these bands as well. Luckily, there is not much around from them!
So, a few promos, a few japanese pressings, and some vinyls. It's good to manage!
So, there you go, Jonah Matranga, The Good Life and Cursive (same singer).
I am not really searching everywhere for these other bands, but when something comes up, it's always fun to find something!
And about The Doors! Wow, I love them. Jim Morrison is one of my favorite people in rock music ever. I have all the books, and have met one of his old best friends.
She gave me stories about him that are amazing. I also heard recordings of him and the Doors that never have been released, since she is the only one who has them.
Great band, great story, great myths..
