"Before the bombastic, extravagant Emerson, Lake & Palmer, there was the less bombastic, less extravagant The Nice. It was here that Keith learned how to lead a band, musically and visually. They don't get nearly as much attention (or hate) as ELP because they were less successful, but they are one of the most underrated bands of the late '60s. There's something more homey about these songs, which may be down to the less technically accomplished but equally good rhythm section of Lee Jackson on bass and country vocals and Brian Davison on drums. Together, these three created a wonderful Psych/Proto-Prog that's worth discovering for more than just ELP fans."
