My Favorite


My Favorite was an independent indie pop band formed in Long Island, New York in the early 1990s, who eventually migrated to the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens in New York City. They released two full-length CDs: Love at Absolute Zero and Happiest Days of Our Lives, three EP's, and a few limited-edition vinyl-only singles. My Favorite broke up on September 14, 2005, when singer Andrea Vaughn left the band. My Favorite were frequently discussed in the indie music press of the time in the context of New Wave retroism, but are perhaps more accurately thought of in the tradition of romantic, lyric driven post-rock and roll melancholia, strands of which originated with artists like The Velvet Underground and certain glam rock artists before reaching their apex in the post punk period.
