The Impossible Fortress May 1987 (Warts-and-All) Playlist

By jason_rekulak

I listened to tons of music from May 1987 while writing THE IMPOSSIBLE FORTRESS. I'm not suggesting that everyone listen to this list -- some of these songs have aged terribly! -- but I'm posting as a matter of historical record.
