Hey...brand noob here, wondering why I haven't been around before. I aim to prove my worth, but I can't resist one burning question: do you know this beat? Do you know other good songs with this beat?

I like the Glam Beat (TM). It makes me smile and dance around the room. It makes me want to make other people smile and dance around the room. My current goal is to slam a bunch of songs with this beat (with or without beat matching...?) into a ~3-hour mix that will run people over at some point during the dancing and make them ask to be run over again backwards.

My immediate target is Burning Man, which has more 4/4 than anyone deserves or needs but not nearly enough 6/8 (or however you choose to write it). Assuming I can pull it off, I'll also post the results on YouTube, SoundCloud, and this thread. I'll be sure to credit everyone whose suggestions make it into the final mix by musicbanter username, unless you opt out.

Here's my current list, with a Spotify link. I'm a child of the '80s, and that sensibility presumably drives what I've got so far. Can you help me compensate so that I can make people go "Whaaa?...oh, cool" regardless of when they were born?

Many thanks,
raffishtenant
