I recently scanned through my old hard drive and found Beck, re watched it and now I have a craving for something similar. I'm a bit lax on the criteria so I guess as long as the anime centers around a band then it's good enough, but I still do want something similar to Beck.

Anime I've watched that fits the "centers around a band" criteria:
1. K-On!
2. White Album 2
3. Kids on the Slope
4. Hibike! Euphonium

Nana (centers around two bands but is very drama-heavy).

NANA - Animated series, Manga and Live Action films (Not necessarily in that order.) ... reverberations ...

The first White Album (not WA2) centers around idol singers but there's a lot of the music industry involved so maybe it will scratch the itch. Warning: it's just as heavy on drama as Nana.

Still NANA ... but after that ...

You can also judge for yourself if lifting the mask of 「覆面系ノイズ」 [Fukumenkei Noise] "Anonymous Noise", in other words, does it for you, in adaptations ...

Perfect Blue might fit the colour scheme... and pretty much needs to be mentioned in conjunction with idol industry recommendations, I think.

Seeing the recommendations, NANA will be something I'll watch as soon as vacation starts here. I'll have to push back White Album, Perfect Blue and Anonymous Noise on a later date and see if they're worth finishing.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Thanks for the recommendations.

If you like NANA and if you pace yourself while watching/reading the story, NANA can keep you occupied for quite a while. Have you looked into NANA and perhaps read other comments on it - or will you be jumping in based on these recommendations without prior knowledge of the series and its circumstances ... ?

In case you don't like NANA you may need something to fall back on... -in which case you may need someone else to provide recommendations - but I'll add one more title to the short list. I'm fairly certain you've seen Nodame Cantabile at least mentioned when it comes to recommended musical ensemble pieces.

Your criteria seem flexible.

I'll be going directly to its anime.
