Top 10 ugliest famous buildings and monuments.

True this! Reuters hits the nail on the head - at least the ones I've seen. Here's the list and click here for the write-up and pics.

1. Boston City Hall; Boston, MA
2. Montparnasse Tower; Paris, France
3. LuckyShoe Monument; Tuuri, Finland
4. Metropolitan Cathedral; Liverpool, England
5. Port Authority Bus Terminal; NY, NY (I didn't realize this was considered a famous landmark)
6. Torres de Colon; Madrid, Spain
7. Liechtenstein Museum of Fine Arts; Vaduz, Liechtenstein
8. Scottish Parliament Building; Edinburgh, Scotland
9. Birmingham Central Library; Birmingham, England
10. Peter the Great Statue; Moscow, Russia

Personally, I'd like to add:

- The Swiss Re Tower (aka The Gherkin); London, UK
- Pompidou Centre; Paris, France
- Anything by Frank Gehry (especially the EMP in Seattle)
- Any type of space needle, sky needle, or variation thereof
