Fixing indentation and adjusting the point about the similar riff so it's not as reliant on weblinks.


* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Although there are several differences, the titular group has obvious parallels to Music/FleetwoodMac. Both are 70's folk/rock groups with both British and American members, both featured a female singer/songwriter and keyboardist, and both were known for internal romantic entanglements and tensions. Daisy in particular dresses and acts a lot like Music/StevieNicks, including wearing dresses similar to the famous black "Rhiannon" outfit. WordOfGod has confirmed that Fleetwood Mac was indeed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wfy6hqKHg6U part of the original inspiration for the novel.]]
** Listen carefully to this [[https://youtu.be/1X9sT4RToEU?t=109 guitar solo/riff]] in "Honeycomb" - [[https://youtu.be/kBYHwH1Vb-c?t=228 sounds familiar, huh]]?

* ArtistAndTheBand: The show is called 'Daisy Jones and the Six.'



* BandOfRelatives: Only two of the Dunne Brothers' members are actually the Dunne brothers (the rest are friends), but they roll with the name.
* BettyAndVeronica: Billy is torn between his loving and loyal wife Camila and his volatile and vivacious co-frontman Daisy.

* BettyAndVeronica: Billy is torn between his loving and loyal wife Camila and his volatile and vivacious co-frontman Daisy.



* ForegoneConclusion: Both the first and last episodes open with the knowledge that the sold-out Chicago performance was the band's final performance. The ninth episode ends with various interpersonal conflicts within the band threatening to boil over as they head to Chicago, upping the tension for the eventual breakup.



* TheHeart: Camila. Everyone cares about her, and everyone in the group has an emotional connection with her and generally wants to do right by her. Even Daisy, who begins to fall for Camila's husband Billy, likes and respects Camila herself, and doesn't want to hurt her. In the show, the reason the band is called "The Six" even before Daisy shows up is because Karen considers Camila to be an essential part of the group, despite her not being a musician.



* LonelyRichKid: Daisy is described as having her father's money and her mother's beauty, and yet being completely alone. Her family is unsupportive of her musical ambitions, and even she starts to doubt herself until she meets Simone.



* TheMuse: Defied. Daisy hates that her boyfriends keep using her as inspiration. She doesn't want to be the muse, but to be recognized as an artist and person in her own right.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Although there are several differences, the titular group has obvious parallels to Music/FleetwoodMac.

* OnlySaneMan: Warren is the only member of the band who's not entangled in romantic drama and/or ego clashes.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: The adaptation adds romantic feelings between [[spoiler:Eddie and Camila]] that aren't implied in the book.

* TheResenter: Eddie becomes increasingly resentful of Billy for how Billy keeps sidelining him. Another factor is that Billy married Camila, the girl Eddie liked, and mistreated her.
* TheReveal: The final episode reveals that [[spoiler: the documentary is made by Billy and Camila's daughter]].
* SecretRelationship: Graham and Karen hide their relationship. Although they got together after both joining The Six, Karen does not want their relationship to be public as she fears that people will think she is only in the band as she is his girlfriend. [[spoiler:This becomes subverted in the episode "Looks Like We Made It", when Karen, tired of hearing the other band members run Graham down, reveals their relationship to them, and the two make out in front of everybody]].
* SingingInTheShower: Daisy sings in the shower in her first episode. It's how her then-boyfriend realizes she's an aspiring musician.

* HollywoodThin: In [[Literature/DaisyJonesAndTheSix the book]], Daisy has an eating disorder that manifests in her only eating one meal a day in order to maintain her thin frame. In the series, no mention of her having an eating disorder is made. The one scene that shows it (where Daisy goes to a hamburger place on a date and doesn't eat) is changed in the series, so that she actually eats two hamburgers. She stays extremely thin.
