I selected all of the options that I thought would be suitable replacements for the Star Spangled Banner, but my preferred replacement would be This Land Is Your Land.

I checked all the things I'm okay with. Would need lyrics for Stars and Stripes Forever, however. I don't like the USSR, but they had what sounds like the best national anthem of all time. I think patriotism is often misused, so I wouldn't mind abolishing the national anthem either. Ultimately, I don't really care about the national anthem one way or the other. I'll let others fight that battle.

Nothing should replace the star spangled banner. Even though the Battle Hymn of the Republic is a personal favorite of mine as I can sing it myself.

I remember me and my friends singing it as a choir at some point in High School haha.

Battle Hymn of the Republic is based and my favorite as well. This is personally my favorite version of it, and arguably the most meaningful:

Nice! Very meaningful indeed. 😞  Personally I love the song in it's original form, meaning it's to the beat of drums/marching. I can just imagine soldiers marching and singing. 

This is my favorite version:
