I like Scottish, Irish and Australian accents. I especially love the fact that Amy McDonald sings with a Scottish accent. Although it's not easy to follow at times (especially the 'And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size' bit in This Is The Life). Most of the times the Scottish accent seems to disappear when Scottish singers sing. When they talk however it's a different story (Examples : Sheena Easton (remember her?), Sharleen Spiteri from Texas, Marti something from WWW, and many many more).

I also like English with a Japanese accent, mostly because Shonen Knife's cover of Top Of The World...

I don't like English with a Dutch or German accent very much. Mostly thanks to our Prime Minister (when he's visiting the US or the UK and I hear him, I just got to turn off the telly because I find it embarrassing) and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also the Texan accent has the potential to annoy me, but can't give you a reason for that one....
