Just a relatively harmless poll to see which anthem everyone likes the best. Inspired from the other thread about anthems.
I would urge everyone not to simply vote for their own country's anthem out of patriotic pride, because then the poll will be very, very boring.
We can all agree that there are some pretty cool anthems out there, at least give it some real thought -- and if for some reason, you haven't heard the Marseillaise or the Star Spangled Banner, at least check them out before voting.
Also, please explain why you chose which anthem you chose -- do you like the historical context, the musical piece, the inspiring lyrics, what? I'll freely admit I'll be disappointed if every American chooses the American anthem because it's American, or every Brit chooses the British anthem because it's British.
There's no national pride at stake here -- feel free to vote however you like (or, write in an answer if you don't like the options).
