Gotta love the chorus on this one (well, unless you're an atheist, or perhaps a pacifist).

Not really anthem material but I find these to be two of the best examples of American music out there

Since the Star Spangled Banner is the clear winner maybe we gotta start discussing which version was best.

I'll go with the James Earl Jones one over James Taylor and Steven Tyler

How could you possibly forget the "I'm proud to be an american" song? lol

If not for the star-spangled banner that would totally be my first choice!
Andy Bernard doesnt lose constests. He wins them, or he quits them because they're unfair.

There are two definitive versions, and only two:

Marvin Gaye at the '83 All-Star Game
Whitney Houston at the '91 Super Bowl

Those were indeed good ones, but, (betraying my old-fart-dom), Sandi Patty at the Bicentennial Celebration in New York City was the most amazing version I've heard.

Wow. That R Kelley version was really really good. Granted I don't have an ounce of soul or pigment whatsoever so it sorta washed over my back, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize its greatness.

It's just that I can't give it to a guy that ....uh...you know what he did.
