Jerusalem, for two reasons: it's actually sounds good, and it's about the country as opposed toa beacon of classismthe Queen.
After hearing it so much over the last few days I would be fine with the Chariots of Fire Theme tune -

Re: If you could change the national anthem, what would you change it to?I second this. Anytime I hear Jerusalem I want to go into battle or something!(Original post by Astronomical)

The only people who have a problem with class are people with no style or substance. -

Re: If you could change the national anthem, what would you change it to?Isn't it about England and not the UK as a whole? Don't get me wrong, it's an excellent choice and I'd gladly have it as the anthem, but it will just give more ammo to nationalists who claim they are being 'marginalised'.(Original post by Astronomical)

Re: If you could change the national anthem, what would you change it to?As affecting as Jerusalem is, dropping God Save the Queen for a Christian hymn would seem a little counterproductive. There has to be something that doesn't contain the monarchy or religion. Two birds, one stone and all that.
