Can't stand the sound of it -
Manchester - not the proper Manc accent, but the modern Oasis/Madchester/moronic accent. I have to listen to chavs round here using it all the time.
Estuary English - that strange sort of drawling accent that's not quite cockney. A lot of media people use it. Mick Jagger does it perfectly.
...but the sound I detest most of all is the sound of an Accringtonian who has moved down south and covered their accent up with a "posh" voice. Fair makes me want to spit!

Music to my ears -
Southern Irish - I'm with with Mr. C on that one. Could listen to 'em all day.
Latin-accented English - my missus speaks it!
My first love, though, is pure Accy. Only live 30 miles away, but I miss it...I really miss it.
