I've always noticed some of the world's greatest skylines are coincidentally so perfectly conical from most directions, I love it.

Post-WII Lower Manhattan arguably had the most conical skyline in history, at least for a time. Beautiful!

Like Nowhereman1280 said earlier, New York's skyline is pretty "loafed" out. The pre-9/11 skyline, when viewed from great distances from the north or south, you'll notice how the ESB and WTC perfectly serve as the "peaks" of the entire skyline.

Obviously the Back Bay skyline isn't conical, I think you forgot about the actual Downtown Boston skyline:

One can argue that Boston actually has three "peaks" very simular to Chicago:
