27. James | She's a Star

"She's a Star" by James from the album Whiplash (1997)

If late-'90s radio had a signature guitar sound, it was a softly stratospheric slide guitar cry. But James's '97 UK chart-topper "She's A Star" did it best. It's maybe the band's most anthemic moment (which is saying something), with the gorgeously identifiable riff serenaded to by Tim Booth's singular clarion call.
