La Marseilles and Star Spangled Banner by a long way .
Mine , Advance Australia fair is really lame ( it contains the word "girt" ) , but Australians aren't too big on the whole singing thing , and when we sort of half assed mumble this insipid tune , in many ways it's quite appropriate .

The russian one is of course on top. The second best is more difficult. The melody to the British one is good, but the lyrics are innapropiate for a national anthem. The French(unfortunately rather insane lyrics), Italian and the East German ones are also beautiful.

I have to admit to liking the Finnish one. Kind of shares the characteristics of the Swedish one. They sort of need to be interpreted on a slightly melancholic note to work as music. I have heard both botched terribly when this was not understood and the band tried to play the usual national-anthem marche militaire thing.

Advance Australia Fair, now there's a weird anthem
The instrumental version of Advance Australia Fair sounds alright enough. But combined with the words it leaves you underwhelmed.
It arguably sounds better if sung to a different tune...

Our unofficial anthem is, of course, Waltzing Matilda. When overseas relatives ask about the Australian national anthem, I sing this.

Anyway, yeah, the Hymn of the Soviet Union takes the first prize (modern lyrics < 1977 lyrics < 1944 lyrics)

Some honourable mentions: I've already mentioned Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in previous threads. Qaumi Tarana (Pakistan) is pretty good as well.

Here's a rock remix version:

Jana Gana Mana (India) was composed by Sir Rabindranath Tagore. It doesn't sound martial, and therefore one of the more unusual anthems (along with Bangladesh's, also by Tagore). The lyrics praised God. Or George V, depending on who you ask.

The Korean anthems (both of them) aren't bad either.

Let me see, I love the national anthem of the five United Nation Secrity Council permanent members.
Here are the lyrics, I sorted and arranged them.
God Save the Queen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN9EC3Gy6Nk
God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious
Happy and glorious
Long to reign over us
God save the Queen!
One realm of races four
Blest more and ever more
God save our land!
Home of the brave and free
Set in the silver sea
True nurse of chivalry
God save our land!
Of many a race and birth
From utmost ends of earth
God save us all!
Bid strife and hatred cease
Bid hope and joy increase
Spread universal peace
God save us all!
Star Spangled Banner
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAYPN-1Yjt0&feature=related
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

每個人被迫著發出最後的吼聲。
起來！起來！起來！

Arise! All who refuse to be slaves!
Let our flesh and blood become our new Great Wall!
As the Chinese nation faces its greatest peril,
All forcefully expend their last cries.

Our million hearts beat as one,
Brave the enemy's fire, March on!

Est Europa nunc unita
et unita maneat;
una in diversitate
pacem mundi augeat.
Semper regant in Europa
fides et iustitia
et libertas populorum
in maiore patria.
Cives, floreat Europa,
opus magnum vocat vos.
Stellae signa sunt in caelo
aureae, quae iungant nos.
(English version)
Europe is united now
United that it may remain;
Our unity in diversity
May contribute to world peace.
May there forever reign in Europe
Faith and justice and Freedom
For all its many people
In a greater motherland
Citizens, Europe will flourish,
A great task calls on to you.
The stars in the night sky
Are the symbols that unite us.

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
