Back in the early 2000s, I did play some Dance Dance Revolution (DDR). I was never good at it, but it was a fun game to play with others. Before the hype of Guitar Hero and Rock Band, this was the game that you had to play with friends. The problem was always finding friends to play it with. The case will either be that they wouldn't be caught dead playing it or that they would rather do some real dancing. This is similar to Guitar Hero and Rock Band in terms of people's viewpoints of these games. "Why don't you play a real instrument?" is what many would say. Personally, I don't care. I have fun playing it and it's all that matters. Now, I chose "STOMP TO MY BEAT" primarily because I love this song and it was weird the first time I heard it outside of the game. Listening to the radio, I identified this as "Hey, isn't it that DDR song?" It was very popular at the time and I began to wonder if more of those songs would eventually make it onto the radio. To my knowledge, I don't believe any more had. Definitely a great party song! I'm sure it was played a lot in clubs.
I had to debate whether I wanted to put mainstream songs into this list because I could number off a bunch of Guitar Hero and Rock Band songs by Modest Mouse, Aerosmith, and so on. I will limit myself to songs that weren't done by extremely popular mainstream artists. Expect more DDR songs in the future. I have tons from the multitude of mixes out there. For the purposes of this blog, I linked to the full version of the song.
