So I guess the
Squeeze album evolved into, like, REM...? (Well, 'Little Jack' would have fit in quite nicely on
Out of Time.)
Sorry, but in order to understand this line of reasoning, I'd have to be one of those who sees Sonic Youth as nothing more than a continuation or update of The Velvet Underground. Frankly, I've never seen them--or heard them, more accurately--to be a product of The Velvet Underground any more than a product of The Pink Floyd, The Stooges, The Doors, Black Sabbath, Rolling Stones, Ramones, Television, Patti Smith, Glenn Branca, Dinosaur Jr., etc., etc.
