It is not good IMO.

Antenna is an add-on to a building, while a spire is part of the building itself.
Anybody who bothers to entertain other people with such lists should first appreciate this basic fact.

In general, bulidings have four heights:

1. to the highest occupied floor
2. to the top of the roof
3. tallest point of the building including spire
4. with antenna

Since antenna is not structural part of building, the definition #4 is usually disregarded when comparing buildings themselves. If one wants to include #4, it is OK to do so, as long as #4 is clearly disambigiated from #3.
