The Nice
The Nice were a British progressive rock band formed in 1967, best known for blending rock with classical music influences in a way that helped pave the road for the prog rock movement. Originally formed as a backing band for soul singer P.P. Arnold, The Nice soon broke out on their own. The group featured Keith Emerson on keyboards—his flamboyant style and technical prowess quickly made him the band's standout member and later led to his formation of Emerson, Lake & Palmer.
Their music often incorporated complex structures and orchestral elements, evident in albums like "Ars Longa Vita Brevis" and "Five Bridges." They were known for bold reinterpretations of classical pieces by composers like Bach and Sibelius, giving them a psychedelic and progressive rock twist. The Nice had a relatively short but influential run before disbanding in 1970, leaving behind a legacy that helped shape the sound of early progressive rock.
