R.E.M.'s best album isn't Automatic for the People (1992). It is 1986's sublime Lifes Rich Pageant (sic). This little song has all the things that make R.E.M. such a quality act: melody, old-school r'n'r mentality, and a college pretension. It is reminiscent of the best of Beach Boys and foresees Weezer by a decade. It is also one of the few select songs where Mike Mills shares the vocal duties with Michael Stipe.
I am, I am, I am Superman / And I can do anything.
They certainly can.
