"The Star-Spangled Banner" is a needlessly difficult song, please take us out of our misery.

I mean, I strongly prefer keeping it and find those who trash it rather annoying/edgy, but of these I'd easily take the Battle Hymn.

My only complaint is that it stretches nearly two octaves. This can make it difficult for non-professional singers, and I think national anthems should be broadly accessible to most citizens of the nation that uses it.

Battle Hymn is my favorite, so if I got to choose I'd do that.

Battle Hymn is unquestionably the best thematically. It sounds less like a national anthem than some of the others (if that makes sense) but it's still such a great song.

America the Beautiful is my favorite patriotic song. Absolutely gorgeous.

God Bless America should have enough support from both parties.  It's a much prettier song than the one we have now.

Battle Hymn; I would say "My County, 'Tis of Thee," but since that tune is taken. . .

God Bless the USA (Lee Greenwood).  Of these options, God Bless America.  I've actually felt it needs to be changed to this for a long time.

America the Beautiful is a great, hopeful song and sounds like a national anthem, so that first. The Battle Hymn of the Republic is inspiring too. Hail Columbia is a bit dated, but I like it. I pretty much enjoy every song listed there.

Look up Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.

honestly I think "New Americana" by Halsey would also be kick ass. It's a song about how awesome neoliberalism is.

This land is your land is the only one that isn't a horrible song.
However, it is certainly not the best choice, I would chose "Imagine" by John Lennon.
