There's a Hammond thread somewhere else in the forums. Well, Emerson's Hammond on 'America' smokes. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=326" rel="nofollow - Read reviews by Fitzcarraldo |

I don't know whether nostalgia has anything to do with it, but I really like listening to THE NICE. Some of their stuff sounds really raw but really authentically new and pioneering, if you know what I mean. I only got into them around 1972, and enjoyed everything I heard of theirs. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=326" rel="nofollow - Read reviews by Fitzcarraldo |

Five Bridges is excellent early Emerson & a precursor to that which followed with ELP. I simply LOVE their version of America. It's in my collection.

| Beggar's Opera "Act One" is very NICE too if you like The Nice. But not nicer than Five Bridges. |

The Nice were a massively influential British prog band...and that cannot be understated.Just about anything by them is worth checking out. A few years back I got to meet the original guitarist in the band Davy O'List at a London prog show (Linda ''Three Fates'' was also there).I love his admission that he turned down the chance to join Roxy Music full time in the seventies because none of them were as talented as Keith Emerson! |

I love "Act One", the musicians are great, especially the organist!!! |

Very influential yes. Prog band? Perhaps if they had made a fulblown prog album but they never did. Hence the proto prog tag. |

Ars Longa Vita Brevis and Five Bridges both have side long suites.I regard them as a full blown prog band.What they didn't have was the synthesiser which perhaps makes them sound a little less prog than ELP or Yes.They were organ based prog IMO. |

Only two days ago i bought a new 2cd "Essential Collection" compilation of The Nice's work, for only £4.97 ($8.67 or somewhere near that). Quite incredible stuff. -------------

A great band and I just want to mention Lee Jackson's amazing galloping bass line on Rondo that he keeps up for 8 minutes. It's one of the wonders of modern music.
