		Sears Tower, Chicago Not very beautiful, but I like the smaller vertical elements which terminate at different levels which help to reduce sway.
		John Hancock Center, Chicago The slightly tapering sides and X-bracing on the exterior make this building visually striking and well-balanced to the eye.
		When I started at NCNB (now Bank of America), the BofA Corp Center was only about 20floors built.

	SkyscraperCity - TOP 100 CHART LISTING
		Due a little glitch some of the low votes weren't being counted for Chrysler Building (because it wasn't in the standard format with "3 or less" at the bottom) so I fixed the threads that weren't properly formatted, causing a few ratings to change.
		Raffles, the best Middle East skyscraper would be Burj Al Arab at #6, wouldn't it?
		The top 10 is quite surprising to me. Bank of America in Charlotte is at #3, but it doesn't have nearly as many votes as the others, so I think it might drop off given time.
