Melding the energetic urgency of disco strings/synths with the propulsive energy of the nascent punk scene, this non-single highlight from Dandy in the Underworld— T. Rex’s last album before Marc Bolan died — is a tantalizing taste of what Bolan’s distinctive, malleable vision might have achieved had he lived to see the ascent of new wave in the ’80s.Smiths' composer and guitarist Johnny Marr stated: "T. Rex was pure pop". [45] The influence of T. Rex is very profound on certain songs of the Smiths like " Panic" and " Shoplifters of the World Unite". Lead singer Morrissey also admired Bolan. While writing "Panic" he was inspired by "Metal Guru" and wanted to sing in the same style. He didn't stop singing it in an attempt to modify the words of "Panic" to fit the exact rhythm of "Metal Guru". Marr later stated: "He also exhorted me to use the same guitar break so that the two songs are the same!" [46] Marr rated Bolan in his ten favourite guitarists. [47] Prefab Sprout's Paddy McAloon cited "Ride a White Swan" as "the song that vindicated my love of pop". [48] R.E.M. covered live "20th Century Boy" early in their career in 1984: [49] singer Michael Stipe said that T. Rex and other groups of the 1970s "were huge influences on all of us", [50] "[they] really impacted me". [51] T.rex - Se alla låtar och listplaceringar". NostalgiListan (in Swedish) .
