I'm sure Thurston has mentioned that The Fall were an influence on Sonic Youth. The Fall were releasing records for about 5 years before SY formed, correct me if i'm wrong. Also an image of Mark E Smith appears in the Teenage Riot video.
Smith only listens to dance music, reggae, and Krautrock, apparently. I wouldn't expect him to like any of his peers or any younger bands, or admit to it anyway.
