The best accent?

I recently met an Irish men and I fell in love with his accent. Best so far. Followed by British then Aussie.
 
Any accent is good to me. I like to hear all different ways people speak or pronounce the english language. I also like it when they speak their native tongue at me as well, even though they could be insulting me like crazy. :P
 
Not a single Canadian. :c

Anyways, German is where it's at, I think.
 
I like my own accent well enough, which is Kyushu Japanese, but other Japanese people often make fun of me for it. Among Japanese accents, I love the Kyoto dialect. You could say it is like our version of a posh British accent- it is very polite, proper, elegant and almost archaic in the pattern of speech. Outside of my own nation, I love Russian, Middle Eastern, French, Greek, Irish... Actually, there are few accents I don't like. My favourites, though, would have to be Russian, Middle Eastern and Native American.

Russians have such a depth to their voices, and the language can paradoxically sound fluid and harsh at the same time. I actually took the time to become fluent in Russian, but my accent is pretty awful- Japanese+Russian is not a beautiful mix. I also know a bit of Arabic, Farsi and Turkish, as my partner is from Turkey. I love it when he speaks, I could listen to him all day. As for Native American... I cannot really describe it, but it is distinct and I find it very alluring, no matter what region the person comes from.

As for what I don't like, I cannot stand some American accents, namely that weird southern drawl that uses broken words and slurred syllables (what I suppose you could call "hick"). It is so hard for me to understand what the hell they are saying- It doesn't even sound like English!

The most distinctive Canadian accent is Newfie, and I don't think anyone has ever found the Newfie accent remotely attractive. Not even Newfoundlanders.

Like I said before, Received Pronunciation is my favourite accent. Clarity is lovely. In second I'd place Australian; it's the perfect mixture of exotic and intelligible.

If the Newfie themself is cute, then the accent is wonderful.
 
Japanese when they speak English why? One word: parallel. Or as they say with the best accent in my opinion, palarrer.
