My Favorite was an independent indiepop 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 e.p.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 retro-ism, but are perhaps more accurately thought of in the tradition of romantic, lyric driven post-rock n' roll meloncholia, strands of which originated with artists like The Velvet Underground and certain Glam rock artists before reaching their apex in the post-punk period. My Favorite's principle influences included The Smiths, David Bowie, New Order, and various singles from influential labels like Factory, Rough Trade, Cherry Red and Sarah Records. In negotiating these influences and impulses they were contemporaries of The Magnetic Fields and Belle & Sebastian, two bands they performed alongside at New York performances. Michael Grace was also part of a blue beat and oi! centered skinhead subculture during his early twenties, and the influence of certain artists like The Special's and Lee Perry can be heard in certain early recordings.

In 2007, the remaining five members of My Favorite joined forces with vocalists Lisa Ronson, the daughter of David Bowie guitar and Morrissey producer Mick Ronson, and Erin Dermody to form a new band called The Secret History.
