No. 6 Crazy Sexy Cool by TLC (1995)
This trio’s second album stripped away their “kiddie” elements, and Dallas Austin, Organized Noize and Puffy (as he was known then) Combs pushed the ladies into more sophisticated territory without ever foregoing stellar pop hooks. Songs like “Creep” and “Red Light Special” were slow-burners that were inescapable in 1995.
