After NYC, it seems that San Francisco and Chicago have the next two most prominent/recognizable skyline's in America. Which one do you prefer?
In my opinion it is a tie.
EDIT: Ok. Obviously Chicago is a different tier. Well then if NYC and Chicago make up number 1 and 2 spots for skylines in the US, what city is number 3?

Reason: What skyline is number 3?
preference is a matter of opinion where it is undeniable that Chicago's skyline is more impressive than SF's. however, if you factor mother nature into the picture, SF's is more beautiful plus it is dense which makes it look more impressive than it really is. Kind of like Vancouver's. Both Vancouver and SF have limited land space available to build whereas chicago has nothing but flat land for miles on end...
On the street level I prefer San Francisco. But San Francisco has a pathetic skyline for such a great and expensive city. It should be compared to cities like Philadelphia, Seattle or even Miami.
You'll probaby have a hard enough time convincing some people on here that Chicago is not the #1 skyline- to put it behind San Francisco is almost mind blowing
I love San Fran's skyline more than almost any other - it's beautiful. I think Chicago's is much more "thick" though. Quite dense compared to anything except New York (obviously)

Miami or San Francisco or Philly
also, can't forget seattle...
