I might be the exception as Englishmen go but I don't like our anthem. Too slow and stoic. At least La Marseillaise has a good tempo. Given the choice I'd prefer Rule Brittania.

La Marseillaise is a nice popular song and it can be electrifying when sung by thousands of people... but I think it doesn't even come close to the beautiful, powerful and kinda sad majesty of God Save the Queen or Flower of Scotland. The later gives me chills every time.
