The Nice was a late 60s English rock group, known for being among the first in the genre to play in a progressive and symphonic style, with strong influence from Western classical music. While they did not last more than three years, they were a major influence in bridging the gap between the psychedelic rock of the 60s and the progressive rock of the 70s. Led by keyboard virtuoso Keith Emerson (later of Emerson, Lake & Palmer), they were one of the first rock groups to play with an orchestra.
