I still say 'Small' and 'Some Things That Glitter' are unmistakably Brian. The latter especially because the piano intro is reminiscent of 'Another World'.

Warboys is Paul's. He wrote it and played it on a solo tour last year.

In the wikipedia article I added one of the "definite hits". By "definite hit" I mean one where one of the band has confirmed whose it is.
It'd be great if someone else added to that. And perhaps added citations. I'd do it but unfortunately right now I really haven't the time. :-(
And I think we should encourage the band to spill the beans a bit more - now the album's out.

It’s nice to get new guesses also in the Q+PR Tour sub-forum.
I’ve incorporated all the votes cast (only the first time around, though, Lester ;-), I’ve followed up on the interviews suggested in this thread and I split up co-writing guesses with one vote for each writer suggested since one of the interviews stated that all of the writers came in with their own material before working on it as a band.
Where we had confirmation in any interview, the votes cast are (sadly) disregarded.
Confirmed:
1. Cosmos Rockin’: Roger
5. Warboys: Paul
6. We Believe: Brian
7. Call Me: Paul
10. C-lebrity: Roger
12. Say It’s Not True: Roger

Looks like we can put this all to rest now, and the guesses become confirmations. In the thread "Why the mystery over who wrote what?" in the General Discussion, doxonrox provided a list of who wrote what, based on the new booklet for the US version of TCR:

How strange. Well, here's the first person credited on the US release, which confirms alot of the conjecture except the first tune:
1. Cosmos Rockin (Taylor)
2. Time to Shine (Rodgers)
3. Still Burnin (May)
4. Small (Taylor)
5. Warboys (Rodgers)
6. We Believe (May)
7. Call Me (Rodgers)
8. Voodoo (Rodgers)
9. Some Things That Glitter (May)
10. C-lebrity (Taylor)
11. Through the Night (Rodgers)
12. Say It's Not True (Taylor)
13. Surf's Up...School's Out (Taylor)
14. Small Reprise (Taylor)
It make sense, although I always thought that Cosmos Rockin' was Brian. Hope this helps from this side of the pond!

Considering I've got the UK version, because I'm an impatient bastard and couldn't wait until yesterday, this was a revelation to me. But the only surprise was that Roger wrote 'Small' -- I could've sworn it was Brian! But I'm glad to see that Brian wrote 'Glitter'.
