I apparently have bad taste when it comes to anthems, but I particularly like South Africa. New Zealand has a pretty good one too.

Why the poll? Why these four and only these four? Why are all the new posters so terrible?

I wanted four that were somewhat diverse in terms of geographic location.  As regards to posters I hope you are not referring to those who replied to this thread.

I think he means that to ask us what our "favorite anthem" is, we shouldn't have only a few limited options to pick from. The thread title is misleading.

I see what you mean.  Perhaps I should have put in an 'other' option.

you could have said "what is your favorite anthem of these options"

True.  Personally I find that a tad cumbersome.  I could have put in 'best anthem', and reworded the actual question a bit.

"State Anthem of the Soviet Union Russian Federation" blows them all away by far.

"Deutschlandlied" is okay, but I think the Third Reich kind of ruined that song. I prefer "Auferstanden Aus Ruinen" - the GDR's anthem - though the lyrics don't have much relevance outside a post-WWII context.

As for the other two, honestly, we Western Hemisphere countries suck at crafting stirring, epic national anthems. I don't even like "The Star Spangled Banner." I don't think it has the sort of weight and gravitas, musically, that a national anthem should have, and the lyrics don't have much significance for America as a country. I tend to think "America the Beautiful" would be a more appropriate choice, but no one ever asked me.
