"Keep on Choogin'" by CCR reminds me quite a bit of a Sonic Youth tune structurally. The "Intro" to "Brave Men Run" reminds me a bit of Fogerty's guitar style.
There is definitely an influence to be found (obviously especially around the BMR era), and it's one of the rare instances where I think SY, even Thurston, wasn't bullshitting in the interviews. That said, and influence doesn't mean a copycat thing and SY at the same time sited influences that I can also hear from Throbbing Gristle to the MC5 to Madonna, so don't look too hard.
