My favourite of that era as well. They were the only good part of a Van Halen show that they opened in 91 or 92. Their new stuff is worth looking up as well.
BTW, I think Layne Staley's vocal style was ripped off a lot more than Vedder's from that time (Vedder actually wrote about it after Staley's death, hidden track at the end of "Bee Girl" from Pearl Jam's Lost Dogs.)
