To clean_polo: Actually, Seattle's skyline looks great when it is cloudy and rainy as well, and from different angles. The only time it may not look good is during a heavy downpour, but heavy rain like that is very rare.
And no, Seattle "isnt cloudy and rainy" almost everyday. It can be cloudy and rainy but there can be plenty of sunny/partly cloudy days pretty much any time of the year. It can go 4+ days-weeks in a row with sunny weather. Seattle's weather can be great a lot of the time.
Did you ever even visit Seattle? Its a great city. Did you even visit the Pacific Northwest? Its one of the most beautiful regions out there in certain areas.
While most areas of the country has to deal with tornadoes, hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, droughts, intesely hot or cold temeperatures, or bad air and water quality, Seattle doesnt really have to deal with most of those things compared to other places in America.

How about Pittsburgh holding down 16th despite being about 50th or so in population?
That's what I love about the Burgh; it LOOKS like a huge city, but as soon as you get from downtown, you have beautiful wilderness and homes with (gasp) actual yards.
10 is too low for Philly. Too much emphasis on height not enough emphasis on number of smaller buildings < 250 ft., mass,density and architectural diversity.
The thing that seperates these lists is opinion from stats, anyone can think a skyline can be placed where it wants to be, too bad none of that matters when you actually look at the numbers.

You are using just the city limits population, which is useless. It's the #22 sized metro, which means that the skyline is still punching well above its weight even with this added population.
