Before I begin, I want to say this is not to bash other countries.

Okay, now if each national anthem was played to the public, which do you think would reach Num. 1 and why?

I honestly say the USA's because it sounds great and epitomizes the American culture (IMHO).

I really like our own U.S. national anthem. It's very simple and melodic. It's overplayed, though.

I haven't heard too many national anthems other then Canada's and the UK's so I really can't make that call.

I do like our national anthem though, and by our I mean the US.

Sure but there are other national anthems with even better lyrics but you don't know that because they might be in another language.

The French anthem, it is so good that one of our footy teams used to use its music for their club song.

I don't like ours (Austalia). Would have to say the best are South Africa, New Zealand, France and US- couldn't chose between them.

Well the US national anthem is cool as long as some bimbo is not trying to sing it.

Russias national anthem brings the word EPIC to mind whenever I hear it.

And Turkeys national anthem is pretty damn cool too.

Those are my top 3.

Thanks. And I've always been meaning to tell you how your sig always throws me off- The song Jonny is playing isn't the same as the lyrics, which I just realized a little while ago. I was searching all over the internet trying to find a video of that. :lol: :P

It is quite an inpressive sig, but it lacks a ThomDance ;)

And I listened to about five live versions of Nation Anthem in a row just a little while ago. :oops:

Aw jeebus, I was just about to post that exact video so I had it open when I clicked yours so now I got two clashing songs playing. In serious I am quite partial to the Soviet Union's national anthem. (also, my avatar has the best Thom dance)

Any anthem with the word 'girt' in it is automatically the best!

Could we at least have the version where the words are done to the tune Of Barnsey's Working Class Man? I'd prefer to have "Down Under", "Sounds of Then" or "Great Southern Land" though..

Well I like Mexico's but I'm probably a little bit biased. The Soviet Union Anthem is probably my second favorite though.

Well, I WAS going to say anyone that says anything but the USSR's is wrong, but after listening to Germany's, I'm not so sure about that... Good ol' America has a great one too, but it's far from the best.

My vote is for Kazakhstan, Here is why....Their Lyrics!

Kazakhstan greatest country in the world.
All other countries are run by little girls.
Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium.
Other countries have inferior potassium.

Kazakhstan home of Tinshein swimming pool.
It's length thirty meter and width six meter.
Filtration system a marvel to behold.
It remove 80 percent of human solid waste.

Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place.
From Plains of Tarashek to Northern fence of Jewtown.
Kazakhstan friend of all except Uzbekistan.
They very nosey people with bone in their brain.

Kazakhstan industry best in world.
We invented toffee and trouser belt.
Kazakhstan's prostitutes cleanest in the region.
Except of course for Turkmenistan's.

Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place.
From Plains of Tarashek to Norther fence of Jewtown.

Come grasp the mighty penis of our leader.
From junction with the testes to tip of its face!

Soviet Armenia had the best national anthem. Written by Khachaturian and possibly soon to be resurrected.
