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.
