| Centurion | MY favorite is the national anthem of the former GDR, it had better tunes and lyrics than the "Deutschlandlied". Too bad, they didn't take it as the official hymn after the reunion.  Other anthems I like are the "Hymn of the Soviet Union", the "Star-spangled banner" and "God save the queen" which has the same tunes as "Heil dir im Siegerkranz".

| Optio | I'll say the Estonian national anthem so I won't appear that biased.  The Soviet anthem was also really solemn.
