Okay, to adjust my point, Beatles had a more top down influence while Sonic Youth have a more bottom up. In this way it would be easier to compare Sonic Youths influence with the Velvet Underground.
Also in today's self-conscious indie rock world, there is a lot of Sonic Youth backlash be it deserved or not. I wouldn't know if the Beatles had to deal with this but I would doubt it to SY's extent. I still know a number of people that hold my Sonic Youth enoyment against me.
