Oh, I thought of another national anthem I like: I do rather love the Welsh one, Hen Wlad fy Nhadau. FWIW, there isn't a national anthem for England, although for sporting events they rather need one, so sometimes people use the god-awful Land of Hope and Glory (not even dignifying that bollocks with a link) or the actually surprisingly good Jerusalem.
I can imagine it might be fun to do an anthems version of that page that went round a while ago which ranked the flags of the world and gave them letter grades, with points on for good use of colour and points off for cliche.
