Ashen Pathfinder 16,161 February 1, 2016 Share February 1, 2016 This might be due to Michael Schumacher's domination of F1 over a decade ago, but considering how many times the German national anthem was played after the many races he won, I would have to go with that. Something about it sounds so grand. <3 3 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about it sounds so grand. <3 Schumacher, then Vettel, and now Mercedes. (with the occasional Vettel) Sounds beautiful. Oh, and 1998-2002, 2004-2008, and 2010-2015 at Le Mans too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Bolt 35,063 April 19, 2017 Share April 19, 2017 The Star-Spangled Banner (aka the US national anthem) has been and always will be my favorite, I'm proud to be an american pony! 1 ☆ My socials ☆ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squiggle 9 April 19, 2017 Share April 19, 2017 (edited) The French followed by the Italian. The Soviet one was good, too, and I like the Japanese. And the Romanian. The Greek one has great words. Edited April 19, 2017 by Squiggle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStreak98 828 April 19, 2017 Share April 19, 2017 I'm excluding the US National Anthem, because I live there, I'm biased! Outside of that, I'd have to go with Mazurek Dąbrowskiego, the National Anthem of Poland. It's even more impressive to hear at a national team sporting event: "I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way. I am a fool." -Kurt Vonnegut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt 45 148 April 23, 2017 Share April 23, 2017 My favourite is the USSR's anthem and behind that would be the CSA's unofficial anthem: Dixie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArDee 100 April 23, 2017 Share April 23, 2017 (edited) Oddly enough I used to listen to the various national anthems of the world years ago, and some of them have stuck with me as personal favorites, really just based on tone and feeling alone rather than lyrics. It's hard to choose a favorite simply because of how many I've heard and liked, so here's a list! In no particular order: Barbados has a nice, cheery, regal sounding one. The Netherlands Antilles also have a nice one. (Or had, at any rate, since their dissolution into separate islands in 2010. Also, I'm sensing a theme here with island nations having really nice national anthems.) Albania. The country may be among the poorest in Europe, but their anthem is undeniably cool. Belgium's "La Brabançonne". Played this one at high volume after Brussels last year. Bosnia and Herzegovina. Still probably one of the prettiest anthems I've heard. Cambodia's "Nokoreach". Also ranks among the prettiest. Fiji. Again, really cheery island nation anthem, but also has that distinct feeling of pride that really gives this anthem emotion and power. The buildup is lovely. It was awesome to see the islanders' reactions when their country's athletes won gold medals at Rio! Edited April 23, 2017 by ArDee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Sponge 1,017 May 10, 2017 Share May 10, 2017 I quite like the Russian one. I don't like the British one, they should change it to Land of Hope and Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatonRyu 1,033 May 18, 2017 Share May 18, 2017 Het Wilhelmus, of course. I wouldn't be a true Dutchman if I didn't think my own anthem was the best one. That said, it is a tad too religious for my tastes, but since it's so old that was to be expected. I think I'm one of the few people nowadays who actually knows the first and sixth verses of it, and why the sixth is often used alongside the first rather than the second. (The sixth one was popular in WW2 and it became customary to know it.) Plus, the first letter of each verse spells out the name of William of Orange, which is kind of cool.

RavenholmZombie 1,330 June 5, 2017 Share June 5, 2017 I love the anthem of the USSR (also the current one as well) because it's so powerful. I'm also partial towards the Star-Spangled Banner because it's the anthem of my country (the only time I don't like it is when the singer screws it up) RavenholmZombie - Brony since 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nsxile 26,974 May 21, 2019 Share May 21, 2019 I'd say the USSR's is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
