Nobody ever seems to want to talk about the Roy Thomas/Neal Adams run.
This is my favorite run on the book right after the Claremont/Byrne run.

Bunn's X-Men Blue and Uncanny. Like another member said, it was derailed by changes in editors and changes in status quo.
Fabien's monthly Gambit. The members of this who have read it mostly enjoy it, but it seems to fly under the radar for non-Gambit fans.
Milligan's X-Force/X-Statix.
Dennis Hopeless' Jean Grey monthly.
New mutants volume 2, followed by the first 15 or 16 issues of new X-Men academy X before it was derailed by house of M.
Although the new X-Men that followed was pretty good as well, if you could get past the deaths in the initial few issues.
Kyle and Yost's X-Force was enjoyable too.
Milligan all the way. Liu's Astonishing run was absolutely amazing too.
Liefeld's X-Force
X-Men 92
Ultimate X-Men (far from perfect but I think people focus on the negative a lot)
The Noir AU
And there are a lot of character-centric minis that kind of flew under the radar or got forgotten (I'm thinking about the minis for Mystique, Storm, Gambit, Jubilee, the Havok & Wolverine mini from the 80s, etc).
Just echoing previous posts:
Lobdell's Generation X deserves to be more than just a cult classic so I'm including it.
BKV's Ultimate X-Men
BKV's Chamber mini-series
Joe Casey's Uncanny X-Men
Brian Wood's Ultimate Comics: X-Men
Peter Milligan's X-Men
Joe Kelly's X-Men
Judd Winnick's Exiles
