As far as the US goes: I could listen to Boston and New York City accents all day.
Out of the States: British and Irish.

I actually was on a bus tour in Ireland for three days with a young Irish guide speaking the entire time, so I hear ya! I could have listened to him forever! I actually looked into teaching there just so I could stay in Ireland...no, not for him. I was just enchanted by everyone!
I didn't even know my accent existed until I moved. I have to watch how I say things since I consistently had students spell words wrong on spelling tests. (Pondering as I grade: why did half my class spell "bother" with an a instead of an o?) People hear the Chicago obviously, but it's enough removed that people think Wisconsin or occasionally Minnesota.
