But no, I remember always being a bit repulsed by their songs. Not repulsed as in I'm about to empty my innards, just repulsed as in I hate the music.
If you look past the overly earnest and idealistic nature of some of the lyrics, they've done some brilliant albums.
And they're fantastic live.
If anyone's bored, here's a couple of choice Levellers tracks:

Yeah, but that's just that song that most bands have which is used as a stick to beat them with.
Like 'Brick' by Ben Folds or 'Pure' by The Lightning Seeds.
