If I recall, Cinnamon's default menu is similar to the Windows Start Menu in some respects. Cinnamon is basically a fork of GNOME Shell made more like GNOME 2. Build it from source (instructions on the Cinnamon blog, linked to in another forum post on installing Cinnamon in Trisquel 7 by me), or use some PPA you find. Use PPA at your own risk though. Have you considered KDE? I haven't tried it but it may provide such functionality, perhaps in KDE5. MATE seems to provide such a menu, or at least Mint implements it to an extent. There is an official development PPA. At the moment, GNOME Shell is hard to customise. You may find an obscure GNOME Shell extension such as on gnome-look.org, but usual warnings apply about stuff on the internet.
