Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't deny the Americans have a pretty kick ass national anthem.
Its stirring, emotional and provides us with a unique glimpse of the birth of a nation. In fact I'd even be willing to bet that the 'Star Spangled Banner' is the most recognised anthem across the world. Seriously, how many can you recoginise? (Besides your own that is - and YES you should know your own country's theme song!)
