This list is known to be incomplete. He has made more recordings that fans may never become aware of. This list is designed to cover the core and semi-core unreleased items, many of which are in circulation among fans (much to Al's dismay). It does not include every time he sang a line of something on a TV show, only significant performances.
Not included are demo recordings of songs which were later on albums, except those made prior to the first album. (Most songs for most albums were first done by Al in demo form to play for the band.)

However, of special note are a few ideas he had for Prince parodies that he never recorded due to Prince denying him the permission to release them.
$19.99 - parody of "1999" by Prince, about Popeil-like marketing (mentioned on NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! 4-22-2023) - possible written in 1983 as a precursor to what became "Mr. Popeil"
(title unknown) - parody of "When Doves Cry" by Prince; written circa 1984
Let's Go Crazy/Beverly Hillbillies - parody of "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince, using lyrics from "The Ballad Of Jed Clampett" (theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies TV show); written circa 1985 during early stages of writing the movie "UHF"; as reported in the October, 1998 Ask Al, this was the original idea for what became "Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies" (although, of course the original version was "The Beverly Hillbillies Miss You" as reported above, but that was not considered for the movie since it was very dated by this time)
Charles Ulrich hosts The Not Al Page which attempts to list every recording that has erroneously been credited to Al over the years. However, I do want to mention a couple of songs here because they were reported here at one time, but later confirmed not to be real.
I Shot My Wife in San Francisco - parody of "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" by Tony Bennett; NOT BY AL!; this was mentioned in a book in the late 1980s or early 1990s, but unfortunately I cannot recall the title (please let me know if you know!)
Acid Rain - parody of "Purple Rain" by Prince; NOT BY AL!; during a call-in radio talk show circa 1992, when Al refused to answer the question of what Prince song he had wanted to parody, the interviewer suggested that this is what it was, but he was not correct
