I wouldn't want all tall buildings to look like this, variety adds to the interest of a skyline. But in my opinion buildings in the style of 1LP, the TD Centre in Toronto etc are all essentials for an overall good-looking skyline.

I agree that the boxes make a sort of frame for the more unique-buildings. They are essential. I love Chase Manhattan Plaza, for example.
