We're talking physical SKYLINES here, not demographics or economic woes.
And aesthetically, Detroit actually has a very good/impressive skyline:
Even better when seen from closer to ground level, from the upper deck of Comerica Ballpark:

One not mentioned yet as a bad skyline-- NASHVILLE.
Buildings are not that tall compared to places like New Orleans or Charlotte.
And the only building with any real aesthetic interest is the "Batman" building (AT&T Building, which is currently the tallest at only 33 floors)

The Devon building sticks out like a giant middle finger in OKC
Pittsburgh’s is fricking dope. When you come from the southern part of the city/airport you are in a pretty suburban area, go through a large tunnel, come out and you’re on a bridge and it’s Steelers stadium, Pirates stadium, other bridges and skyline. Very coo
ETA I see someone already beat me to it

olando has good skyline, yeah

Based only on evidence in this thread, Albany is the clear front runner.

Skyline of Holly Springs, MS . . . sucks as bad as the residents!

One I haven’t seen mentioned in here - Portland. You can tell when you’re there too there just isn’t much in vertical development, I am guessing they have restrictions on it because there is tons going on there and it’s obviously a hot place to relocate to. Very pretty city though overall

so basically every skyline can look good/bad depending on what photo is posted.

Orlando does have a limit on the height of buildings in there downtown area due to the nearby executive airport approach path. Hence it will never have true high rises taller than ~25-30 stories.

Nashville is the same way; generally 30 stories is the maximum to spread out development.

Mountains are my favorite "skyline"
