I vote for Bushian. It isn't on the poll, but it consists of English-sounding words.

Russian? German? Ugh...
French all the way. It's beautiful. It's a turn on just listening to a girl speak French.
British English is great too.

However, I prefer southern accents to British ones.

Russian Language sounds the greatest but for girls, I'd prefer ones with british accents.
There's a chinese girl who works at the chinese food near my place and her accent is such a pleasure to listen to, even though I generally dont like asian english accents. So I guess it all depends on the individual. That and my japanese fob gf used to have problem pronouncing some words. I thought that was kinda cute when she attempted it.

Russian is not an attractive-sounding language. I found it grating to listen to my Russian roommate talk on the phone...ugh.
My vote goes for either Italian or French for most beautiful, German for coolest-sounding.

For an incredibly obscure language... Yardistani. It's a conlang that I haven't actually ever heard being spoken and that AFAIK only one person in the world, it's creator (whom I know personally) can even write. But from what little Yardistani I've read, it looks rather beautiful. Basically it's like Spanish but it seems... relaxed. It's like a perfect language for a pleasant tropic resort where the waiters have white shirts, good tans and elegant black moustaches (I don't know if this makes them homosexual or not, and I don't particularly care since I have the image that they're nice people anyway, at least if they're good at English).

Russian women are hot, and the language is awesome, but its not the best language to hear woman say dirty words on your ear.

Tassadar, I think I know who you had in mind when you added the "Lithuanian" option.

Hebrew is missing as well.
Though, I admit I find it an abominally ugly language.

I don't like languages that use some vowels or consonants way too often. 'Jalalabad' is a prime examle of those languages.

I don't think that semitic languages are well sounding. They sound well to me, but that's because I understand what are they saying ( not too well in arab, though ). I also don't like German, and dutch. It's too mechanical for me.
Spanich, Italian,French.

German is winning?!
And don't us beautifully accented English get any credit  What about the dulcet tones of Birmingham, graceful trill of Liverpool or the lilting soundscape of Newcastle accents?

Quite true. Arabic is also unpleasant to my ears.
However, my award for worst-sounding language is Hindi. Hearing it spoken is akin to someone running their fingernails down a chalkboard. Ugh.
