In YOUR top five? Everyone doesn't have the same criteria for "best" - which is what the OP asked about.

Gotta say my top 5 would be:

1) Chicago (very well put together and cohesive, very beautiful skyline)
2) New York City (if not for the beauty and the setting, just the magnitude of it is awesome)
3) Seattle (the natural surroundings really complement it)
4) Dallas (especially at night is awesome)
5) Atlanta (a little too linear but still very nice, beautiful nighttime view too)
Dallas is a BEAST also.

Exactly. People just dont realize the INDIVIDUALITY the art deco gives Miami. It may not be a bunch of office towers but it has individuality. People have to understand it's location which affects the type of buildings it has. It's not gonna have the gothic and bussiness style of CHI, BUT it's okay because it's location is appropiate for it's style. Which is Tropical.

I think the the Denver skyline is in the top ten. These pics do not include the spire 478' (almost complete) and 4S 575'/650' (2/3 up) which sit on the right side of the skyline (bottom two photos).

I have to agree, the Denver sky line is very unique!
