Always thought "Sea of Love" by Phil Phillips would be a good choice. I also would like to hear his take on some Elvis tunes such as "Don't Be Cruel", "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Mystery Train". Of course anything by The Everley Brothers would be fine as well.

"Pretty sure when Brian speaks of a Rock 'n' Roll album he's talking about songs which inspired him back in the day and some stuff from his '60s' contemporaries. He's NOT referring to Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame parameters here."he inspired would also be interesting. Current rockers (especially the "indie" rockers) acknowledge Brian's influence. (Recent review of a Josh Ritter album: "To his credit, Ritter sees no difference here between folk artists like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger and pop artists like Hall & Oates and Brian Wilson; in his eyes, all are important artists working in distinctly American idioms.") "Around the World" by the Chili Peppers owes a great deal to Brian's vocal sound. "Everybody Hurts" by REM contains some "In My Room" DNA.

That would be interesting...and REM has a few that have a Brian sound to them for sure! And then younger people like Nate Ruess and others do also
