Just for the record, your AppleMadman here usually enjoys music that would make your grandmother instantly have a heart attack, but there are some artists that even he simply can’t ignore, especially when they have a name that includes one of his obsessions, together with a notorious antivirus producer. Yes, I am talking about Fiona Apple, born Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart on September 13, 1977, and since for the AppleMadman, every artist’s story starts with his discography, let’s take a look at the Fiona Apple discography, shall we?

Fiona Apple, beautiful sadness

Obviously, we had to introduce ourselves to Fiona first of all, so here you have her – beautiful and sad, just as most of her songs, but let’s get to that Fiona Apple discography now, just as I promised!

This is it for now, my friends, but don’t you even dare to think that I’ll stop here! After all, there are a bunch of awesome Fiona Apple videos to check out, but I didn’t include them here, since we’ll take them one by one, in the future. Also, some may say that the discography of a certain artist includes the singles, but the AppleMadman thinks otherwise. While foreplay can be extremely pleasant, it’s nothing next to the real thing, and that’s exactly what a single is, next to an album.

OK, so we have to conclude here our first encounter with Fiona Apple and her discography, but since she’s the first “Apple artist” I can think of, we’ll get back to her as soon as possible.
