[kj] OT: First speed metal track of all time

Nice one. I guess 'd-beat' is a bit of a misnomer then, unless it's
just 'cos Discharge made it popular-ish.

Also, just 2 years after that Queen song, the Buzzcocks made what most 
people think to be the first 'd-beat" song, "You tear Me Up," which 
sounds light years more developed to me than Queen:

1976! The song kicks ass. It uses the d-beat drum pattern so many other 
punk bands would use, to this day. But there's still a strong case for 
Zakary Thaks in the 60s laying down the blueprint.
