The 32nd annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held on Friday, April 7th at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York, and this year’s class of inductees is one of the most musically diverse yet. In this episode of the QuadCast, student host Nick Bruno ’17 sits down in the studio with John Covach, a professor of music theory and the director\u00a0of the Institute for Popular Music<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0at the URochester, to discuss this year’s inductees, the Rock Hall, and its place in music history. Then, with the help of his guitar,\u00a0Professor Covach walks us through Yes’s hit song Roundabout<\/em> and explains what makes it such an important part of rock history.<\/p>\n
