'Daisy Jones & The Six': Cast reveals real-life musical inspirations

• Prime Video's new series "Daisy Jones & The Six" premiered on Friday.
• The much-anticipated adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novel follows a fictional rock band in the '70s.
• Insider spoke to the cast about the artists and albums that helped bring their characters to life on-screen.

"Daisy Jones & The Six" has been immortalized on-screen, much to the delight of music lovers — and love triangle enthusiasts — everywhere.

Prime Video's new series is adapted from the bestselling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It tells the story of an iconic rock band in the '70s that rose to fame at breakneck speed, then fell apart just as quickly.

Sam Claflin plays Billy Dunne, the romantic, charming, and self-destructive frontman of The Six. Riley Keough plays his twin flame Daisy Jones, equally romantic and charming yet even more self-destructive, who becomes Billy's songwriting partner and brings the band to new heights.

Although these musicians are all fictional, there are many real-life touchstones that fans of the era will recognize. Billy and Daisy's lyrics draw from Laurel Canyon legends like Neil Young and Carole King, while the interpersonal drama is reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac.

Insider spoke to the cast, including Claflin, Keough, Sebastian Chacon, Josh Whitehouse, Nabiyah Be, and Tom Wright, about the real-life artists and albums that helped bring their characters to life on-screen.
