2006: The Year In Music

2006 – Luciano Pavarotti gives his last ever performance, singing “Nessun Dorma” at the Turin Winter Olympics opening ceremony. “Top of the Pops” broadcasts for the last time on BBC Two, having aired for 42 years.

I’ve ranked their opening tracks, it’s time for the closers. Check out my other Muse lists here: Bad 9 –Continue reading “Muse Closing Tracks Ranked”
