Accents that do it for you
You know, when you here a member of the opposite sex talk sometimes you just want to close your eyes and listen to that accent. If you don't know what I mean then get out travelling more.
The poll is limited, so there are gross generalities and omissions, and yes it is very Euro-centric. Get over it and vote banana rather than complain about it, comprende?

though this is not specific enough... english can be cockney, manchesteran, upper class, etc. american southern can be Missouri, plantation southern, etc. even in a single city, there's great difference... people in north philly sound much different from people in south philly (think the Rocky accent)

pretty much all of them.
Hell even this dutch girl speaking really turned me on. And Dutch isn't a paticularly pretty language- at least to me.
Even southern accents turn me on.
The only one's that truelly turn me off are the heavy New York/New Jersey accent and the valley girl accent (though that's more of a way of talking than an accent). Same with the gangsta speak. I hate that as well. I'm not real keen on that northern Chicago, Minnesota, Wisconsin type accents, but they aren't too bad.
So in summary, the only one's I don't like are New York/New Jersey, gangsta, and valley girl.

On the other hand, Cantonese and Vietnamese

they all sound alike 
What is Daphne from the tv show frasier? In the show she is supposed to be from Manchester. I don't know if her accent fits that or not.

 English, Irish, Austrailian, French, and Russian/East European, and US Southern
US East Coast, and Canadian
also any accent that is too strong, ie English, Irish, Aussie accents can like poop when they are really strong. they make me want to beat the living poop out of whoever is speaking male or female. Also a Southern accent that is too strong makes the person sound ignorant.
The way a lot of people talk up here on the north slope of Alaska, mainly the native people, just infuriates me, its indescribable how stupid they sound.

you don't have a US-Midwestern one, and Japanese and Korean accents are different from Chinese ones.
that said, i like most accents, but none of them "do it" for me...
