The best unequal twin would be a twin consisting of a skyscraper and a chimney, a free-standing or guyed tower. Does someone know such a twin?

Melbourne Central

The cone contains the Coops Shot Tower, finished in 1890 - MC was built around it.

A very unconventional twin!

The Azrieli Towers in Tel Aviv are not equal in height nor shape, though they aren't twins.

Somebody should throw in some pictures of the Emirates Towers (I think that's the name) in Dubai.

Woah- I never knew there was a shorter tower; I've only ever noticed the bigger one. Cool.

Yes, the shorter one actually came up first around 1998. The height difference is more evident in this photo :
