Quasi

Their influence carried into Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks and John Doe, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around Quasi, reaching back through Heatmiser and forward to Bright Eyes.
