Rolling Stone's 180th greatest album of all time
Decent Stones album, consisting mainly of cover versions. Weirdly this included my third version of Bo Diddley's Mona in about three days as part of listening to the 500 greatest albums (Quicksilver Messenger Service's version definitely the best so far).

Third entry in the 'new' X-men series (that started with the 60s set First Class, then had the cross-generational Days of Future Pay bringing both sets of X-men into the one film), so probably about sixth overall (or seventh if you included the spin offs), this is set in an alternate 1980s and is actually surprisingly unengaging.
Unlike the time travel shenanigans of the previous film (and the Sentinels), Wolverine only makes a cameo in this while the 'big bad' is actually the worlds first mutant who - in the prologue - gets buried in ancient Egypt.
Unlike the Marvel universe films, however, Quicksilver survives in this!
