What is an anthem?

Posted by josh rising on Mar-24-2007 06:11:

a true anthem is a track that doesn't set out solely to be an "anthem", it happens on its own merit...

for example...
jan johnston - flesh

If you look up the word 'anthem' in the dictionary, it would have Ralphie B - Massive as an example.

Why? It's easily one of the best tracks out there and when it was released it was a true bomb. It is an anthem.

I'll have to go with this, too.

It has many pragmatical meanings. The thing which connects them all is that an athem is "big" in some way.
