Surprised more haven't commented on this the Cardiacs have one of the most rabid fanbases of anyone. They are madly influential with people like Mike Patton, blur, Radiohead, napalm death, voivod, Justin Hawkins, tool, dave grohl,steven wilson, wildhearts(they even recorded a song calked Tim Smith were they proclaimed him to be the greatest human being ever)amongst many others are massive fans. I had the misfortune of having them be the first gig i ever went too over 30 years ago and few have ever lived up to them, the glory that is Tim Smith RIP our leader in the starry skies cannot be overstated brilliant in everway a simple mix of progressive, punk, folk, classical, psychedelic, art rock pop music. Yhe greatest hits is a bad move start with the first proper album and work forwards or check out the concert all that glitters is a mares nest which has all the early essential classics and enjoy you will ever love them or hate them
Cardiacs are a great band, with a lot more variety in their output than suggested here. Stonage Dinosaurs is a melancholy ballad, whilst Dirty Boy is a cosmic heavy-rocking hymn to self-gratification All points covered between.
You should really listen to. Is this the life... which is a fairly straightforward rock song but with s guitar god solo.. which justs makes you subtley realise the greatness
No! No! No! Don't get the greatest hits rubbish. Listen to the first six tracks of Sing to God, the greatest album of all time. ruclips.net/video/ax9yT3t1jSI/видео.html If that doesn't hook you, then you are a lost soul who must regretfully move on. If, on the other hand, it only whets your appetite for more, then you are a lost soul who must regretfully listen to more. So, erm, listen to more. But first, this.
Pedant alert: It's "Cardiacs" without the definite article, not "The Cardiacs." Cardiacs faithful who know this and take great pains to point this out are called "pondies," a reference to a lyric from Foundling: "He would give himself ten showers a day in the murky ponds and weedy rivers."
I know what you're thinking, but no, it's not a cult. We are all perfectly free to leave whenever we wish, and unrestricted contact is allowed with family and friends (within reason). Though I can't imagine why anyone would want to, of course.

It’s Jane Weaver…She’s great. And Cardiacs are indeed the world’s most underrated band. Music has never been the same since I found them in 1989.
