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.
