For singing, even though it was canned, and not live as many thought, Whitney Houston.
Instrumental? Well since, the most iconic is Jimi Hendrix‘s version from Woodstock, I will go with that one.
I am sure others artists, who performances I might have missed, such as Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera, did good job,Houston‘s version is the one that is most memorable to me.

Jimi Hendrix is the only one I’ve ever listened to on repeat so I gotta go with him.
I would say Iced Earth from the Glorious Burden Album. James Hetfield did a great job too.

1970 World Series Game 1 in Cincinnati. I remember watching this as a kid, always stuck in my National Anthem rolodex.
