My favorite accent is the urban London accent.

Ive never heard the term Nuyorican...lol

But Ive heard them speak. They are a bit more amusing to listen to, but after a while the New York accent seems to take prevalence.

I haaate the Boston accent.

No other accent really irks or excites me.

Yeah, I really hate the Boston accent.

I prefer the stereotypical non-accent here in the midwest. That way, you really cannot tell where someone is from.

New Orleans,Louisiana
Jamaican/The Islands
Italian (meaning from Italy)

I don't care for
Rural south
Canadian
British
Indian

Yup....an example of Nuyorican is Lower East Side = "loisada"......

But it's really nice, especially with the women.

For those who don't know what it is.

New York Latino English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's probably the accent I have.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet, but the accent that drives me up the freaking wall (like finger nails on a chalk board) are those nasal midwestern accents in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Everyone in that area sounds like they're wearing nose plugs, and I can't listen to it.

On the nice side, a mild southern accent is nice, as is a mild New England accent like my wife's. The really harsh Boston accents can also be a bit annoying.

Faves:
Minnesota (I fell in love with "Fargo"
Aussie
Jamaican

Least faves:
The Brooklyn NY -just seems harsh.
The Valley Girl" God I hate listening to them bimbos say their "So I was llike,whatever!"
The Southern Twang-Ugh! Women in the South who talk this way just didn't get a good raising.
If you have the "drawl" then you have genteel.
