Peladophobia is the irrational fear of bald people. Someone suffering from this condition can expect to experience a very high amount of anxiety from merely thinking of bald people, let alone actually seeing them in real life. In fact, their anxiety may be so intense that they may even endure a full blown panic attack as a result of it. Although such an influx of anxiety will not always be the case for everyone suffering from peladophobia, it is still very plausible to occur nonetheless.

I would never call them underrated, but it's shocking how many people I've seen brush off this band as irrelevant and part of the past. I'm sure R.E.M. would've maintained their godlike status if they stopped making music at the turn of the millenium

I don't even consider it their worst (they have no bad albums so picking a 'worst' is a really difficult task), and I definitely think most of it at the very least good, and like you said, with some awesome stuff (I'd add Leaving New York, The Outsiders, and the title track to your list). The three records they did with Pat McCarthy will always filter those people who can't handle music that's subtler than a loud electric guitar, but if you have ears for softer music, its virtues will be apparent to you with enough openminded listening. It has that beautiful, atmospheric quality that Reveal also had, and also has their usual talent for writing interesting melodies and hooks from front to back. All of their trio records are underappreciated, but Up, Reveal, and Around the Sun are most in need of positive reevaluation.

I've tried that ages ago and would always change my mind soon after, can't be done. Like I said, they only have good albums, although naturally I like some more than others :P

I grew up in the 90's (born in 91) listening to R.E.M consistently thoughout childhood, and have a deeper appreciation for them at 30 than I ever did then

I expected "It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)" to be the most played song this year.

В очередной раз переслушал дискографию и, таки да, группа одного хита, стоящего особняком посреди всего остального творчества, но при этом первые два альбома хороши, а дальше всё выпущенное вплоть до 1994 года я смело вынес бы на помойку (ну и с 1994 по Around the Sun включительно просто приятная музыка для фона, хотя и с огромным количеством самоповторов).

Good thing that the later albums did click with the mainstream, because that helped more people to find the early albums too and they gained more recognition later
