What accent would you listen to someone read the Obamacare bill cover-to-cover just to hear?

British and Irish, while different, have the same general "sound" to me, and are equally pleasing.

The English accent ("British" is a misnomer applied to accents. Scottish, Northern Irish, and Welsh are also "British") is vastly different from neighborhood to neighborhood even in the city of London. I don't think Cockney sounds anything like the Queen's English, let alone Irish.

I like to listen to Dr Alan Cairnes preach on the radio due to his fiery gravely North Irish Accent.

This sounds like the story of my life. Minus the radio.

I'm seconding the "what kind of British" sentiment. I'm not well-studied in the varieties enough to correctly name them all, but it's a very vague category.

The conglomeration that is "British" FTW. "Irish" is second.

"Southern" isn't an accent around here; it's the default setting.

If we're just talking about girls, I like the deaf accent.

Here's a clip on the subject from Russell Peters. NSFW for language and themes.

poll is invalid as there is no Austrailian option.

This applies to both genders.

Also surprised there's no Asian or Indian option....

I voted Irish, but I find a light Indian accent on a girl can be very attractive.

The most pleasing accent I've ever encountered was a very odd mix.

The woman was Gyanan, but was raised in London and moved to NYC when she was 18. So she had this wonderful mix of an English accent with heavy hints of the Carribean and New York.

Totally hot.
