I'm With the Band: 39 Musical Novels

"In 2019, author Taylor Jenkins Reid stomped over the fields of publishing like a kaiju with her wildly popular rock-and-roll novel Daisy Jones & The Six. The long-awaited TV adaptation – slated for a March 3 release on Amazon Prime – is expected go kaiju all over again.

In honor of this development, we've gathered here a spirited and unruly list of novels with a musical heart. The collection features, but is not limited to, musicians, technicians, bands, fans, and groupies. We're sticking to straight fiction with this one, but feel free to click around elsewhere for nonfiction and biographies.

You'll find some genre classics here, along with musical riffs into horror, romance, and other interesting variations on the theme."
