South Walian accent, specifically Swansea area, on a woman obviously. 
Most Bristol variants and related Somerset, also the right authentic Liverpudlian or a proper Brummie accent, women again.

On men, Wolverhampton/Birmingham, West Dorset, Geordie and that unaffected slightly upper class Hampshire accent are fine.

Mancunian, Essex, fake Estuarine, most posh, though not RP, tend to grate on me.

Lowland South Carolina is my favorite American accent.

I like the way the Dutch sound, both when speaking English and when speaking Dutch.

Afrikaaners sound cool in English too.

Unique among the Slavs, Czechs sound cool in English.  At least Ivan Lendl and Martina Navratilova do.

Carribean variants of English are very pleasant.

Of course, if a woman is attractive, almost any kind of foreign accent is going to sound sexy.

I do prefer the lilting Carolinian accent in America.  The rest of our accents sound like shit.

Pretty much, yeah.

I don't think I go ever get past an Essex accent.

[Admiral Yi]

Pretty much, yeah.

I wonder if it works in reverse.  Do Italian and French Eurail Lotharia's bubble over with ecstasy when an American girl starts honking away in Jersey-accented Italian or French?

[Ed Anger]

SC. Women only. Preferably from Charleston.
Kentucky. but only from UK and Berea college students
French. Only the women.

[Admiral Yi]

Agree about Kentucky, as long as you stay in the middle of the state.

I get the same impression about Tennessee, though i haven't spent as much time there as i have in Kentucky.

lol, Parlay voose, fughedabboudit!

I dunno how it works on the chick side but from what I understand, and only by anecdote but multiple independent sources, Aussie chicks can dig American accents.

Basque
Scottish

I'm partial to Irish and Scottish accents. And sexy Scandinavian women speaking German.

[The Brain]

Not into accents.

[Queequeg]

What do Basque accents sound like? How is Lebanese different from other Arab accents?

[Warspite]

My favourite English accent is a West African one.

I also like an Anglo South African accent.

Yorkshire and Liverpudlian accents - when not strong - are also very easy on my ears.

[PDH]

Circumflex.  Aigu is nice as well.
