It's #1 in my book:
  1. Philly
  2. Kansas City
  3. Pittsburgh
  4. Cincinnati
  5. St. Louis
  6. Minneapolis
  7. Cleveland
  8. Portland
  9. Atlanta
  10. Baltimore
  11. Nashville
As you can see I'm more in to the old school look, BTW if NYC had it's skyline from the 1930's it would be #1 on this list.

NYC
Seattle
San Diego
Chicago
Pittsburgh
Philadelphia
Washington DC (love the low symmetrical profile)
Miami
Dallas
Boston




St. Louis has one of the most recognizable skylines because of the Arch. Remove the Arch and St. Louis reveals itself as just a bigger version of Paducah with no symmetry or balance
