Here's my list of songs I'd like to hear Brian record:
1. Take Me To Church
2. I'm Not In Love
3. That's All For Everyone
4. Awake(same arrangement as his piano demo but in his "mature" voice)
5.Patience
6. Angie
7. Wild Horses
8. Fool To Cry
9. Moody Blue
10. River Deep, Mountain High
11. A Change Is Gonna Come(maybe sung by Blondie?)
12. When Something Is Wrong With My Baby

Brian mentions a few songs by name in his book. I believe he has also mentioned Buddy Holly, in addition to Chuck Berry. If you click on the link in reply #11 of Brian's Book Thread you'll see the songs on page 281. I'd list it here but don't want to spoil the book for anyone. It'll be interesting to see what makes the final cut. As others have mentioned, I'd like it if he just records songs he loves, regardless of genre. Although, 50s and early 60s is fine with me!

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Brian singing "Patience" would make me squeal in delight. Ok, maybe not "squeal"...how about "ribbit"? |

I also wonder if this album is finally going to eventuate. He has said the same before and it reads like a stock answer to interviewers questions. Are you working on a new album? BW: Yeah...it's going to be a R&R album. Great....When will it be released? BW: Maybe by the end of the year. Thanks for a good interview.....Next!  |

That is also true.
I do want another Brian album, though, badly.

You know what I'd like to hear Brian record? "I'm Not In Love" by 10cc.
Great! But also this: Who's gonna drive you home? - The Cars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3K1vBlFCaYI don't think though that these would be fitting for a Rock'n'Roll album. Let's safe them for another album. I also wonder if this album is finally going to eventuate. He has said the same before and it reads like a stock answer to interviewers questions. Are you working on a new album? BW: Yeah...it's going to be a R&R album. Great....When will it be released? BW: Maybe by the end of the year. Thanks for a good interview.....Next! Well, he has said it for like 20, 30 years... But it's fun nonetheless to think about the content. We really should help him come up with a tracklist....  |

Brian covering ELO could be potentially awesome. I think a "covers" album would be interesting if they broadened the scope to go outside of just things from the 50s and early-mid 60s.
Years ago, a fake McCartney covers album track listing was circulating, and it mentioned Brian doing "Dear Boy." While an obvious choice, I think that could be magnificent. Other than a few other tiny tidbits (a little interlude in "Vintage Clothes" for instance), "Dear Boy" is one of McCartney's most obvious Brian tributes.

One more song I'd add to my list above is "We Got Tonight" by Bob Seger.

Ugh, hope this is not really true. Who needs an album of rock and roll covers from Bri at this late date? I will believe it when I see it.

Every once in a while, Brian tells a reporter that he's doing a rock and roll album. And this has been going on for years. Does anyone else suspect that this is one long running joke he's playing on us?  |

Someone brought up Buddy Holly, and that got me thinking about the Denny Laine (w/ Paul & Linda) Buddy Holly tribute album Holly Days, and how much I like the "Rave On". Now I want to hear Brian and his band do it.

Not really RnR but Brian should cover A Day in the Life of a Tree.
