The real life band that inspired this story was Fleetwood Mac, according to the author herself. In a post to Hello Sunshine in 2019, Reid revealed seeing the band perform the song ‘Landslide’ during their 1997 reunion show, and there he noticed the spark between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham (main members).

“Imagine my surprise when my mother later explained that although they had once dated, they were no longer together,” she stressed. “This completely defied logic for me.” So, that led her to write the respective story.

What the Critics of Everybody Loves Daisy Jones Are Saying
Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times called it utterly riveting, adding that “the performances are solid, the songs are catchy, and it harkens back to the good old days of rock.” AV Club’s Mary Kate Carr said: “The love story that stars her is so compelling that viewers won’t want to miss a moment. Like the fictional group she is a part of, Everybody Loves Daisy Jones is destined to be a hit with audiences.”
Daniel D’Addario of Variety called it “a failed but riveting adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel of the same name,” and Jasper Rees of Telegraph called it “a sweet but sterilized take on ’70s rock excess.” . Like them, many are having to do with the recently launched Prime Video production.

Although the band in Everybody Loves Daisy Jones is not real, the cast of the miniseries prepared as if they were. All the actors sing and play their instruments on the show. For example, Claflin had to learn to sing and play the guitar, according to Vanity Fair.
The production companies behind Everybody Loves Daisy Jones are Amazon Studios, Big Indie Pictures, Circle of Confusion and Hello Sunshine. The series is now available on Prime Video.
