Mines are :

1. Grant Morrison's New X-Men
2. Joss Whedon's Astonshing X-Men
3. Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men
4. Scott Lobdell's Uncanny X-Men ( Even though I hate his stuff now I loved his X-run )
5. Brian Michael Bendis' All New X-Men

Also no stuff like X-Factor this list is only for stuff with X-Men in the title I have a top 5 X-universe runs planned out.

So what you want is people favourite X-Men runs without any X-Force or X-Factor titles and I supposed any solo titles too.

Ok here are mine

1) X-Men (1991) (Fabian Nicieza/Chris Claremont), Blue team.

2) The Uncanny X-Men (1991)(Scott Lobdell), Gold Team.

3) Astonishing X-Men (1995) (Scott Lobdell) (Age of Apocalypse).

4) Chris Claremont's Uncanny X-Men (1980's)

5) X-Treme X-Men (2001) Chris Claremont.

Yeah this is just X-Men if I included everything else this would've been a Top 10 !

True

mm

1. Claremont's 1980-86 run on The Uncanny X-Men, from Dark Phoenix Saga to the end of the Mutant Massacre.

2. Whedon and Cassaday's 2004-08 run on Astonishing X-Men, from Gifted to the end of Unstoppable.

3. Scott Lobdell's 1993-95 run from The Uncanny X-Men #297 -Songs End to #319 - Untapped Potential

4. Grant Morrison's 2001- run on New X-Men #114 - E is for Extinction Part One to #142 - Brimstone & Whiskey

5. mm.. really digging on Bendis' Uncanny X-Men (vol.3), Wood's X-Men (vol.4), and Latour's Wolverine & the X-Men (vol.2) at the moment; while it's too early to consider any of them among my favorite runs, I like them all better than most of what's come between '08 and now.

-Claremont ('80 stuf)

-Whedon's astonishing X-men is amazing

-Morrison's New X-men

-Bendis' Uncanny X-men

None I guess, just random arcs and issues from here and there. Scks to be me.
