She's not super technical, but I feel she has her own distinct style, one crafted in a very DIY punk rock kind of way. Early to Mid Sonic Youth would sound like mush w/out her, and I think if anyone else had been playing at that time Sonic Youth's sound wouldn't have been as distinct. She always kept things grounded in a good thumping way, and her bass playing was as easily recognizable as Thurston and Lee's guitar, and as pivotal to the overall sound.
Plus, Mike Watt gives her props, so I aint about to argue with that man.
