What do you think? I think most are pretty awful, but the UK's God Save the Queen is right up there in terms of terribleness. Really dreary.

As for others, there's a part of the Dutch national anthem where the tune sounds too much like "And a partridge in a peartree" for it to be taken seriously. But of the ones you're likely to hear fairly often, definitely think the French one is better than most.

France is definitely top tier when it comes to national anthems. Britain's is a dirge, agreed. Monaco's is pretty fun as it sounds a bit like the ShinRa March from Final Fantasy VII. And South Africa's is very beautiful in its multiple languages.

South Africa - so good they've got two

Italy is best, then Germany. Still didn't make up for the Schumacher Ferrari era being tedious as fuck though.

UK's is easily the worst. I hate Ireland's Call, the compromise anthem the Irish rugby team uses because the actual Irish anthem is considered "inappropriate".

Jimmi Hendrix version of Star Spangled Banner is great.

Brazil is good but I have to go for Russia

This is quite a good YouTube channel by the way. Interestingly I went to the Monaco one and in the comments they were talking about Charles Leclerc. Fair enough, there aren't many famous people from Monaco. Then I go to Russia and they're talking about Daniil Kvyat! Everyone's obsessed with Formula One!

Liechtenstein is great as it is totally unique, never heard a melody like that in my life! The lyrics on the other hand seem rather familiar...

The best one is Italy. The UK isn't too bad - it's a lot better than the snoozefest that is Austria.

The instrumental version of the UK national anthem is a lot better than the one with Lyrics
