Sorry, but this is just too broad a thread for me. As long as there isn’t a female in the group ( which is this case for most bands) the perennial door is wide open to pick virtually any album that comes to mind. I think if this was limited to a singular male artist it would be easier to respond. IMHO.
Unless I'm hugely misreading the OP's intent, that's the joke. It's also far too broad to pick your favorite album by a female artist, all-female band or mixed-gender band.
Harry Belafonte Belafonte on Campus (1967) Knowing how I feel about the very idea of a (sole) "favourite" anything, I can confidently offer this magnificent artifact of musical excellence and profoundly deep beauty as perhaps the album I will want to hear as the last before shuffling off of this mortal coil. The incomparable, divinely gifted, Jamaican-American singer, songwriter, and actor has a remarkable talent and delivery - quite in a class all by himself. No other male singing voice resonates with such inviolability, such anointed, otherworldly mien as Belafonte's. The first time he appeared in front of an audience (which was way back in 1949) , Harry was backed by none other than Charlie Parker, Max Roach, and Miles Davis and members of the Charlie Parker Band. How fortunate a break for Parker, Roach, and Davis !
Louis Armstrong, Complete Hot 5s & 7s - complete and total (seemingly?) effortless mastery, if that's your ideal of the 'male artist'. Of course the band (the Hot 5/7 proper, not the later band with Earl Hines that gets lumped in with them) included Lil Armstrong, who was the mastermind who saw to it that these got recorded. Same as it ever was.

Almost equal doses of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd. Yet its own unique entity. For solo artist: Tea for the Tillerman.
This makes up surely at least 98% of the music I listen to lol. Just by coincidence, really. Anyway, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, The White Album by The Beatles and Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys. Pretty unique and interesting top 3, huh
Disturbing you would even know that existed ! no I mean it jamsterdam that is a really twisted video. That guy looks like a psycho, and sounds like one too
