WYNC's Gallerina has a list & photos of the ten least attractive buildings in New York City, which includes Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn (pictured), the Whitney Museum, and Julian Schanbel's house. Readers, what would you choose? Any additions or omissions?

actually, I kinda like some of the buildings they mention (whitney for one) but the only one not on the list that really gets my goat is the NYC dorm that is a pink/rust color at the end of my block. and all the new cookie cutter condos in bburg.
Madison Square Garden is a real eyesore. There is nothing elegant or attractive about it, inside or out.
Ah, so many ugly buildings and so little time.
I would vote for Penn Station. It isn't the ugliest on an aesthetic level, but it is not well designed for its users. And, of course, knowing how beautiful the original station was, makes the current incarnation even fuglier.
