Im suprised by the response. Although hong kong is said to have to have the best skyline it does not have the character of new york and chicago.

Well yeah, much of Hong Kong isn't even 20 years old. Hence why the skyline looks so amazing, everything in it is modern and cutting edge architecture. Meanwhile New York and Chicago are largely historic cities and thus don't look as impressive although thanks to being historic a lot of their buildings have a lot of culture in them. European cities are at the extreme of that since they have buildings several hundred or even thousands of years old.

As much as I love Seattle and getting to see the skyline at night time coming down the Space Needle Elevators afters work, it can't even compare to other skylines around the world

I'm going to say Sydney, simply because the shapes of the buildings are pretty unique compared to other cities.

New York has a great mix of classic and modern skyscrapers

The new WTC complex will make the city look more modern

Vancouver would be second IMO, it might not have the sheer number of tall buildings that other major citiers have (that picture is a little outdated anyway) but the city's natural beauty makes up for it

Why are the options exclusive to major cities. Large concrete skyscrapers aren't attractive. Natural beauty is more attractive.

Because the question was asking for city skylines and not in general.

I like Nashville's skyline. A bunch of small country stores and music shops along the river with a few skyscrapers in the back of it, looks pretty at night

Hong Kong Chicago Shanghai Singapore Sydney tops my list

Being Canadian I thought Toronto has a world class skyline also, it's an achievement really, in a country so vast with little population, people tend to spread and don't build up, yet Toronto has an impressive skyline.

Pretty cool skyline with some nice looking building. It's well balanced, but being Los Angeles, you'd expect a more impressive one:)

All the skylines are nice, but to me, New York and Chicago stood out. I voted for New York, though. :)

New York, although I've never been there. Something nice about London too; from the London Eye there is something to look at in every direction, including basically every single landmark. Maybe that's me being slightly biased though :P
