Recently discovered this for myself: the Preußens Gloria :)

Preußens Gloria is the second favorite of the German marches that I've heard so far.
the favorite that I've heard is this, the Badenweiler march. Apparently it was also Der Führer's favorite march, which further shows he was a man of style and taste, even if you don't want to grant him anything else ;)

I'm a huge fan of Military marches.

For German marches, I have about just under a hundred. German marches are distinctive because they tend to focus more on catchy phrasing than other countries. Here are a few of my favorites.

^Radetsky March. Radetzky March, Op. 228, is a march composed by Johann Strauss Sr. in 1848. It was dedicated to the Austrian Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky von Radetz, and became quite a popular march among soldiers.

^ Einzug der Gladiatoren. Written by a Czech guy during the Austro-Hungarian Empire and was very popular. Everybody knows the intro. The trombone feature is absolutely powerful. The key change is amazing towards the end and gives the song a nice contrast. The finish is also powerful. It's a timeless classic.

^who said marches can't have singing? amazing audio quality.

^Not all marches have to feel strong and powerful. This song has a unique unsettling harmony for a march- gives it a distinctive feel of beautiful dissonance- always been one of my favorites. The end is nice and powerful.

There's just too many good ones to list....

When it comes to marching music, you can't beat the Germans. I love Finnish military marches, but credit where it is due. :)

Here are a couple of favourites:

English Translation of the Original Lyrics

If all become untrue, true we remain
That ever on earth a banner for you might be.
Comrades of our Youth, you, picture of a better time,
That consecrates us to manly virtue and a death for loves sake.

Let us never bend, let us always be near,
Loyal like German oaks, like moon and sunshine!
Once it will again be bright in all brothers minds,
They turn to the source in love and humility.

This grace have the heroes well wrested,
and now, the victory won, Satan practices new treachery.
Yet however he may appear, in life may the time,
You, O Dream of Glory, shall never grow old on us

Your stars to us are creations that calmly gaze down upon us
When all brothers fall silent and trust in false idols.
We'll never break our word, becoming like fools,
We will preach and speak of the holy German Empire.

When reading what Alan Greenspan had to say about the American youth of today, this song helped me to maintain a calmer frame of mind. :)

[Oreka Bailoak]

There should be a general march section instead of just a German one.

Here's a good one from the Austro-Hungarian Empire (I think) I figure I can bend this one in sort of.

This has already been posted in another thread; I thought I would post a copy here so that it is grouped together with the other marches.
