Sounds even better when you see Becks and go singing it on BBC1 Sweet low sweet chariot and There Will Always be an England are up there as well

My favorite is without a doubt 'Limburg' by a local band called Rowwen Hèze. Limburg is a province of The Netherlands with it's own dialect language, own sort of music and a lot of local uses and activities. The band plays folk-influenced rock and sing in the local dialect. The refrain tells how it's only a question of time until the whole Netherlands speak the Limburg dialect. They have a lot more songs about the province of Limburg, but this one is the most well known and popular among people from both inside and outside Limburg.

I like a lot of other folk music, but that probably doesn't really fit the patriotic part of the theme.

edit: Oh yeah, if you didn't already guess, I'm from that little province of Limburg of course
