From what I have heard, TM is considered the most beautifully designed (I'm not sure though, and that doesn't mean most impressive either).
In regard to structures like ESB, ET and Versailles, they may not be at the top but I feel like they belong among the best due to the fact that they were about the very first built in their class.
I haven't been there. I just saw the photos but it looks awesome.
My friends saw it. There is no question that it is awesome, but it is still a question of whether it is worth the trip just to see it. Those friends of mine had plenty of frustrating or funny stories about the whole Indian experience. If you are adventurous enough and don't particularly care about comfort and cleanness, yes, go. I will wait a few decades.
Burj Khalifa could probably be considered off the list pretty soon, since it will be replaced by another taller buiding in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia sometime next year I believe.
The votes seem to be flowing in for the Great Wall, and if nothing else, I do want to see a well preserved section near Beijing. That being said, some voting have said they didn't have that great of an experience there. For those who had a positive experience and were amazed by it, what aspects of being on it (aside from just thinking about it's scale, etc.) was so impressive? I never knew the time frame to build, that is pretty amazing.
I think Taj Mahal is very beautiful.Showing the alien a wall wouldn't be very friendly would it.

That depends on from what angle you take the photos.

My vote goes to the Great Wall(s). The magnitude of the project, the time period, the complexity....
Hagia Sophia for the purpose built single structure.
IDK what on Earth the monstrosity built on blood oil and slave labour called Burj Khalifa is doing on the list. Ugly phallic symbol built with concrete and glass.
