Julie Day No, it's not a real band. When you read the book, though, you keep asking yourself if it's a real band because it all seems so real.

Toni Not a real band, but Daisy reminds me a little of Stevie Nicks.

flag

Tracey This is how I felt about Evelyn Hugo

Karen No, not a real band, although it's very loosely based on Fleetwood Mac. The author recently gave an interview in which she says she was really fascinated by Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks in the 1990s. You can definitely see elements of that in this book (the love/hate relationships between members of the band; the gossip and rumors about them; a gorgeous female lead singer with a gravelly voice).

Julia and I already wondered why I couldn't find their music anywhere... now I feel stupid

cluedupreader ICYDK, there's a Daisy Jones & The Six 🎶 playlist of corresponding '70s songs.

Alicia IT FELT SO REAL!!! I head to search online just to make sure I hadn't missed something.

Kathy Not a real band, but loosely based on the real band, Fleetwood Mac. Two couples (Stevie Nicks/Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie/John McVie) in Fleetwood Mac were going through break-ups when they wrote and recorded Rumours (1976)... one of the best-selling albums of all time. Check out the album (it is one of my favorites) if you want to get a vibe for the Daisy Jones & The Six sound and the dynamic tension between Daisy and Billy.

Camisha Maze I totally started googling for their music when I was done lol

Jessika Cash The Author's Note at the very beginning is what made me think it was an actual band at first. But after a little googling, found out they weren't.

flag

Amy I'm glad I'm not the only one who wasn't sure if they were a real band or not.

flag

Cristina Not a real band but a lot of what happens in this book reminds me of Fleetwood Mac's history!

flag

Marie Gallagher OMG I am part way through this book and have asked everyone I know if they've ever heard of this band! Duh! My plan was to google Daisy Jones (to find out more about her and see what she looks like today!). I had no idea this wasn't based on a real band until coming across this question quite accidentally!

Lee Ann I love that this is one of the top questions for this book, because "Is Evelyn Hugo a real actress" was one of the top questions for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Elizabeth Bennet It's partly inspired by Fleetwood Mac i think

Kathy Larocque No. But they're making it into a movie and they're using the song lyrics from the book. I'm pretty excited.

Gabika Pastorková I thought it too, when I started reading. I was like: Did I miss something? :D

flag

Elizabeth Muscare No. Made up. But it definitely was true to the 70's bands.

flag

Raven Black I read (someplace and can't find again) That it is VERY VERY loosely based on Fleetwood Mac. But no, not a real band. Shame. (Could be a great movie though as long as they don't go too "popular singer/actors")

flag

Blair It's a Bridges of Madison County thing. They both say upfront that it is fiction but somehow that is overlooked. We want to believe in love, don't we.

flag

Kenneth My answer is LMFAO!!!

Joan Westgate Terry, I'm almost finished with this amazing book. I grew up in the 1970s. This is a fictional band, comparing them to Fleetwood Mac, I would think!
