Applying vertical-align to two divs using inline-block

So I have some DIVs. The structure is this

    <div id="content">
        <div id="lcol">some content</div>
        <div id="lcol">some<br />content</div>
    </div>

And my problem is that the two divs are of different height. I'm using display:inline-block for 'lcol' while 'content' is just a regular div. The two lcol divs do indeed show up side by side, but they are anchored at the bottom of the div. I would like them to be aligned to the top of the div. I tried adding vertical-align:top to 'content' but nothing happened.

Any ideas?
