Funnily enough, I believe I have an album by The Hatters, that I
picked up either free or incredibly cheaply from the Record Exchange's
stall at Steppin' Out one Summer.  I don't remember what it's called,
but I dimly recall it having either an aubergine or an avocado on the
front.  I also don't remember much about what it sounds like (so I
can't say whether "they suck"), as I haven't listened to it in a long
while.  Again, my recollection is that it is in the "jam band" vein a
la Screaming Cheetah Wheelies, Cry of Love, et al.  Maybe a professed
ex hippie like yourself might actually like it? ;-)

I guess I should try and give it a spin one of these days.

Cheers,

Paul.
