It's one of the three things I think when I think of Sydney, the others being the bridge and the opera house.

I've always liked this tower. Sure it's a tad tacky, but as the Space Needle represents the 1960's, this one is a symbol of the early 80's. Like it or not, it's become an icon in the Sydney skyline. I love the proportion of it and it looks well-balanced, even if it does resemble a KFC bucket on a stick. The only downside is the gold colour on the turret, which is a tad gawdy. Otherwise, this is one of my favs and it deserves an 8.5

Sydney has great icons but this isn't one of them. I know this sounds old but it really does remind me of a piece of steel with a KFC bucket on top.
Maybe I'm a bit bias being a ex-Torontonian but the CN has an elegance but this doesn't . 5.0/10
