Hi there. I'm new at posting here, so I dunno if a thread like this one exists or if this topic is over debated here.. If exists another thread just like this, please close it. I'd like to know what are the Sonic Youth's influences since the early years till now. If there's some kind of link talking about it, please post here. Thanks for helping!

Well The Sonics were certainly raucous enough to have had an influence..

..and you know, most 70s classic rock certainly never leaves Thurston's listening rotation. Also, Steve listens to A LOT of blues.

If you listen to the Bush Tetras you can hear some influence (they have a song that goes "I don't wanna...I don't think so" like Kool Thing). Thurston and Lee played w/Branca and you can hear how that influnced their guitar sound (Lee also played w/Rhys Chatham, another NYC post NO Wave guitar composter) Branca and Chatham probobly also introduced the Idea of alternate tuneings... I'd also mention Television (the band) for their off the beaten path approch to the two lead guitar thing...
