Fucking 100% this.

The Irish in general, but the Cork folk have the best accents.

I am from Texas and don’t have an accent and I work with a guy from Yorkshire.He does have a cool accent but I have a hard time understanding him most of the time. I do like some of the British sayings like if I am joking I will say I was Bullshitting but he will say he was taking the piss.That always gets a laugh out of me.

I might throw a couple of nominations from left field.

Obviously I'm Australian so I'd give it an honourable mention. Wouldn't say it's the coolest but if you find yourself anywhere in the englist speaking world besides Australia or New Zealand you'll be able to box above your weight as far as charming the ladies...

 But my 2 would be the boston accent since it's rather unique as far as US accents go. It interestingly has something in common with Aussie accents even though they sound so different - namely is has a non rhotic r at the end of the word - which is to say we don't roll the r at the end of a word. So to other English speaking people it sounds like - for example 'helicoptaa' not helicopter and Bee-a not beer.

The second one is the newfoundland accent. I've heard it a handful of times and depending on who they are they sound like a weird and inconsistent mix of a middle irish accent and a canadian one. Again perhaps not coolest but quite unique.

My least favorite: Philadelphia (marbles in mouths, I feel like I need a hearing aid). Not crazy about Chicago (thee-ank you). Don’t care for New Zealand especially.

I agree Boston is sort of cool, and certain Southern USA accents. Get tired of listening to Indians (from India) speaking English. Love to hear French people speak English.
