List of tracks that sample the Amen break

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Entirely unsourced list based on apparent original research, ie someone listens to a song, hears what they think sounds like the break, then adds it to Wikipedia. Even if it were sourced, it would still be a directory of loosely associated songs, unless it can be shown that all of these songs are notable for featuring a 5-second drum sample.

 * Delete A strange article - I can't conceive of any use for it, or any notability criteria that it doesn't fail. Thedreamdied 07:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete mostly original research. The only song on that list that I've heard with a break that sounds remotely like the "Amen break" was the PPG theme song :/ JuJube 07:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: an interesting list with a wide variety of implementations of the well known break. + m t  07:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep: The Amen break is one of the most important drum beats in music, a break that has surfaced innumerable times in a wide range of musical genres. It has been called an "ubiquitous piece of the pop culture soundscape" . The entry could use more citations to place it within this context--Doughouse 15:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
