How they sound to your ears? These languages have lots of sounds you can not find in another group of languages...
Slavic languages
They all sound similar yet distinct. Russian sounds nice at times, but then there are times when it sounds so harsh to my ears. I really like Serbo-Croatian and Czech though.

Really? Which ones?
They have some weird consonant clusters, that's all.

Palatalized consonants in Russian are hard like hell.

Unfortunately (in this regard), I'm an American. So if a cute enough girl is speaking any language, then it'll sound good to me.
I simply love Russian language, because of palatized consonants as well as beautifull vowel 'y' like in a word ty (you) :)
Only one Slavic language has a unique sound, czech R with diactric symbol above, and soft consonants exist in all Slavic languages, but nothing more, really.

<<<Which other languages have Russian 'ы' sound?
Ukrainian and Belarus. Not sure about Polish though. In West Ukrainian dialects they have something in between Russian 'ы' and 'и'.

<<<tvjordij znak?
For all I know tvjordij znak has a sound only in Bulgarian. In Russian it doesn't have any sound, it just shows that the preceding cosonant doesn't get palatalized.

''Only one Slavic language has a unique sound''
Serbocroatian has tones, and two contrastive sets of palatals dj ~ dz^ ; c' ~ c^
djak (pupil)
dz^ak (bag)
spavac'ica (sleeping dress)
spavac"ica (sleeping woman)
c'' hard [tS] like in ''chess''
c' like soft tS in Japanese
dz^ hard [dS] like in ''Jack''
dj soft [dS]

^Yes but this examples are almost the only ones. And you forgot to include examples for tones.
So, dear friends, Slavic languages are beautifull, aren't they? :) Among them, Russian sounds especially nice to my ears, i think Russian is most 'softest' soundig Slavic language as well.
