Re: Best and worst national anthems

Best:
-Europe (what on earth is better than "Ode an die Freude"?)
-East Germany (very powerful anthem)
-Belgium (it always had a lovely tune, and it's written in a pub!)
-The Netherlands

Worst:
-Flanders (it's just a silly anlogy)
-USA (hwever, Jimi Hendrix's version is awesome)
-China

Re: Best and worst national anthems

The old Afrikaans South African anthem "Die Stem" is epic, and always hits home with me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_FpGYL2Y_g
The Icelandic anthem is great too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ0VhkNbmAQ

Not the national anthem, but the song the Irish rugby team sing instead of the anthem is awesome

Ireland, IRELAND

Re: Best and worst national anthems

Iced Earth did a pretty neat version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" too.

I'll never know if it was worth the pain, but I still loved it more than anything in the world - it was my life.
