Opening up our 10 Essential Songs by The Nice is the excellent track “Flower King Of Flies.” The song “Flower King Of Flies” was the opening track in the band’s debut album, The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack, released in 1967. This recording helped fuel the growth of Progressive Rock music in the mid- to late 1960s. The track featured David O’List o...
I have always loved this song and used to play it to annoy my younger brother. It was brilliant music ahead of its time. “One Of Those People” was the closing track on the band’s final album, Five Bridges, which was released in 1970. “One Of Those People” was the only studio recording on the album, and the rest of the music on Five Bridges was reco...
The perfect song to follow up “One of These People” on this Essential list of songs by The Nice. Yes, this is not what you expected. The song “Daddy Where Did I Come From?” was released on the band’s second album entitled Ars Longa Vita Brevis. This incredible album also featured guitarist Steve Howe, who would soon join the great band Yes.
It’s incredible to compare the Karelia Suite (Live) to “Daddy, Where Did I Come From?” Yes, this is the same band, with just a little orchestra added to the mix. Simply stunning! This was recorded live on October 17 1969, at Fairfield Halls, in Croydon, London
This is simple proof that no one ever came close to the skills that Keith Emerson displayed both in the studio and on the concert stage. This is incredible playing. There are no words to really describe it. You will be left breathless when listening to this amazing musical performance.
This is pretty much side two of the band’s second album Ars Longa Vita Brevis. It’s worth every second of listening time you can afford. The live experience works so well for these guys. The way Keith Emerson’s organ reverberates in the hall creates an even bigger sound than the band already generates. This is just stunning music.
Continuing with our best of The Nice Songs, we turn to the band’s first album, The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack, which was released in 1967. The track “Rondo” was the closing track on the album’s opening side. Simply killer! The bass work is phenomenal. The way it sets the groove under Keith Emerson’s sensational keyboard lines is simply captivatin...
One of the great Bob Dylan songs was given the Keith EmersonNice treatment. It became one of the band’s most popular live-performance songs. It sounded nothing like the original version by Bob Dylan. This was just an amazing reinterpretation that remains as stunning in 2024 as it did in 1970.
If you ever want to argue that Keith Emerson was one of the most dynamic piano players in classic rock history, one play of this mighty track should help you easily win the argument. The recording of “Hang On To A Dream” was issued on the band’s live album Elegy. The album was released in 1971.
“America” is one of the most fabulous and stunning pieces of Progressive Rock music ever recorded. Utilizing the theme from Leonard Bernstein‘s “America from the marvelous motion picture West Side Story.Listen to Keith Emerson’s dark organ solo at the beginning as it’s wrapped around by that haunting chorus. And then BAM, it’s rock and roll progres...
