The Stern Show welcomed an incredible lineup of musical guests in 2016, from up-and-coming pop stars to unquestionable rock legends. This year’s slate of musical masters performed a smattering of spectacular songs, including new singles, chart-topping classics, and several Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and Beatles covers. Take a look back at the year in musical guests:
Peter Frampton
In March the classic rock legend chatted with Howard before performing a Beatles cover, as well as one of his own classics.
Chris Martin
The Coldplay frontman spoke to Howard about performing in the Super Bowl Halftime Show, and then covered a David Bowie classic.

The band stopped by in April to celebrate its long-deserved Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Stern Show listeners were also treated to live performances of two of the band’s hits.

Train
The band stopped by in June to play songs off its new cover album, “Train Does Led Zeppelin II.” This led Howard to dare the band’s drummer to attempt the solo from “Moby Dick.”
