My friends hate it when I do it, which makes me think I'm doing a great job at it

Yeah, I'm sad the 'southern gentleman' non-rhotic accent is disappearing. Definitely the best flavor of southern US accents.
French accents, Russian, some British (I couldn't narrow it down to regions as I'm not hugely knowledgeable there).
Really, the only accents I find offputting are - oddly enough or not - many here in North America. For Canada, Maritimes and Quebec - and the US, Boston and that southern drawl are just...yuck. Everything else I'm pretty much indifferent toward, though a person with a pleasant voice can certainly take the edge off any accent (or catapult it further up).

No idea, there's something about it, it maybe because I live like 30 miles away
Also, French accents
Don't really favor any of them. I do get annoyed by any kind of Spanish accent though as it reminds me of the Mexican side of my family.
Sure, lots. But I guess my top 3, in no particular order, would be:
- Irish
- Australian
- German
Pretty much. From the US. Our accents are generally boring.

To me it depends entirely on the Southern accent. Some are more harsh, some are more sweet sounding.
I fully agree. It's a beautiful accent that's quickly fading away. Very sad.
I like'em all.
Australian, Irish, French are all real close to number 1. BBC English and South African are pretty good. Even the sweet southern accent of the Carolina/Georgia is nice.
What is worse, holy fuck the east coast accent (especially like Philly or Pittsburgh, Boston) is atrocious. Its like a human voice pulled over a cheese grater.
Im a dude, Texan, well educated, and can turn on the accent just a little bit when I travel...and oh, the places I can go. NYC almost (almost) makes me feel uncomfortable with all the attention I get. :D
