I go with:

NYC
Chicago
Seattle
SF
Philly

I dont think Denver is too far behind philly/seattle but its going to take at least a new tallest to catch up. I think we are 5 buildings and a new tallest behind seattle and philly.

LA and Miami arent even in top ten. lack of density makes their skylines look immature

This is probably the best list i've seen on city-data. That's my list. I agree with just about everything on the list.

^^^Missing in Action??? I thought those tall things in downtown MIA were called buildings?? I guess they dont exsist. I guess it's just a figment of my imagination. I guess Seattle, ATL, and Denver dont have a downtown either. And by the way, MIA also stands for Miami International Airport.

LOL I know what MIA stands for I was making a joke because I don't think Miami has that great of a sky line, its nice and better where I live but the top 5, I just don't think so.

Plus you can see the Denver sky line from all over the metro area. In fact I love when you enter the metro area from the south or west you come around a hill and there it is! That is not true in LA, you can not see it from a distance at all.

One thing I will say about downtown LA compared to downtown Denver is there are no cranes building new sky scrapers to block the view!!
