I would say any off Confusion is influence by No Wave, and VU, Branca is intwined in it definitely.

Velvets + Grateful Dead + Slits + Can + Floyd + Television + Branca + Fall + PIL = Good Sonic Youth

Bratmobile + Pavement = Poo Sonic Youth

Heart- their song 'barracuda' is a major influence on 'drunken butterfly'. Kiss are sampled in 'Master-Dik'. These are the obvious ones, I'm sure he listens to a lot more, but I have been taken ill and I can't type much.

Thurston also really likes Sparks.
