I don't think so. This is basically a list of the most well-known buildings. This is the general public, not fans (or critics) of architecture or the urban form. I don't think most people disliked the WTC, especially people outside of NYC.
Anything that's on postcards or is a standard tourist attraction is likely to show up on this list. Things like the sports venues on are on the list because people see them on TV and large numbers of the general public go into them to see events. Some things are on this list happen to actually be good architecture, and others are there just because they're big and impressive.
