Hmm. I'm torn on this one. I love what the Star Bangled Banner stands for. But I can't actually stand the song itself. I've always preferred both God Bless America and America the Beautiful.

Exactly. Love the sentiment, hate the song. I want a national anthem that gets the blood up. This is why the French, for all their faults, have the best anthem. You can sing the Marseillaise marching into battle. The SSB you just can't.

Don't get me started on the flag.
