Nation with the best military songs?

Candidates IMO

Russia/ Soviet Union
Germany
America (purely for Battle Hymn of the Republic, but are their others?)
England

I'm sure there are many others that I haven't mentioned, but my vote is for Russia: the Red Army Choir kicks ass- hell they do Battle Hymn of the Republic better than Americans can.


PS: Galactic Empire doesn't count so no Imperial March, unfortunately. :)

England is not a nation.

The UK is a nation. England by itself is not.

Even though I am American, I would have to say Ireland has the best war songs. What can i say, they are just brilliant.

I can understand you. It's the same like saying Bavaria is a nation.

And the Russians have the best songs btw.

I actually think that the Americans have some pretty good ones (Battle Hymn, the Marine Corps Song, etc.), but I think that Russia has some of the best music.

I really think American military songs have great melodies. Like the Navy song (NOT The Village People's Navy song! lol), the Marine song, the Army song, the Air Force song, the Star Spangled Banner, Battle Hymn of the Republic, the marches of John Phillip Sousza, etc. Although...if the 1812 Overture and/or Marche Slave counts for Russian/Slavic military songs...well...hmm....that's a tough one.

The Scottish Bagpipes Hymm for the UK? Whats the name I want too find a copy. When I'm Leader that'll be the Offical Military Hymm. And Russia has real god songs. Battle Hymm of the Republic was a fixture of rallying for both sides of the Civil War. And the Marine Corps Hymm is goodto I got the Mp3. But the best Mach is the Imperial March :P

Actually, it was composed by American composer John Williams and is military-related...and for that matter, Star WARS music was all composed by him, so...

(Rebel horn fanfare replaces Hail to the Chief when President CommandoJoe makes his state of the union address...in a an orange X-Wing pilot flightsuit.)

My fellow Rebels...erm, I mean Americans. I am proud to say the Rebel Alliance...uhm.....United States is doing just fine and dandy! Good night and may the Force....of God...bless America!

(Rebel horn fanfare plays again as President CommandoJoe walks out of the chamber with an astounded audience.)

I should add that when the ISD captains realize this, it would produce the biggest D'OH! in existence.

Grand Admiral Thrawn has the ISD captains executed for destroying his home.

Portugal.

Unfortunely, we only have two subs, six frigates, thirty F16 and 10.000 soldiers to back them up.

Of course, if somebody tries to invade us, we'll just burn everything and migrate to the U.S. We have millions of portuguese already there, and portuguese are known for their hospitability.

Probably Nazi Germany, thanks to the Horst Wessel Anthem. Interesting sound, deeply associated with evil. And to think, it was written especially for a SA thug who got shot by communists.

For that matter, Ride of the Valkyries would kick the shit out of all other songs. :lol:

Foolish fascist pig dog! You forget that the comrades have the Hymn to Red October, not to mention the Chorus of soldiers from the Opera Decembrists, the Slavianka Farewell and On the March!

:twisted:

Ride of the Valkyries is better than all of that.
