hart-topping Sheffield band The Arctic Monkeys are leading the shortlist for this year's Q Awards, with a total of four nominations.
The Mercury Prize winners are in the running for Best Album, Best Live Act, Best Track and Best New Act, which sees them up against Lily Allen.
Muse are next in line with three nominations, including Best Album for Black Holes and Revelations.
The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London on 30 October.
Attacked
Muse's Best Album rivals include Kasabian (Empire), Keane (Under the Iron Sea) Razorlight for their self-titled album, and Snow Patrol (Eyes Open) as well as the Arctic Monkeys.
Best Act in the World Today nominees are Muse, Coldplay - who scooped the title last year - Oasis, U2 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Oasis, Razorlight, Muse, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and the Arctic Monkeys are up for Best Live Act.
At last year's awards, Yoko Ono attacked Paul McCartney's talents as a songwriter and in 2004 Sir Elton John launched a four-letter tirade against Madonna, accusing her of miming during her live performances.

I have to say that Oasis really isn't that great of a live act, they're good to see and all and the atmosphere is great, but the chili peppers blow them out of the water when it comes to the act.

Having seen the band in both settings, I actually enjoyed the seated venues much more. It's much more enjoyable watching a show when you're not fighting for your life to have any amount of personal space, at least in the case of Oasis. Having seen plenty of other bands GA, I can safely say that a GA Oasis crowd is the worst behaved crowd I've experienced. Hope that didn't offend too many folks who have seen them GA.  |

I've never sat at a concert. But, yea I think that definitely takes away from the gig sitting down. I do imagine a UK gig would be better anyway just because the fans would be more into it, christ you try to start up an o-a-sis and the crowd stops after a half minute. |

I agree I saw them 4 times in the UK before moving to Australia and they were incredible. The last 2 times Iv'e seen then in Australia (Canberra and Sydney) and they have been OK but look like they are going through the motions. I think they don't really playing the smaller shows here.
Muse seem to be getting better and better. They are incredible live.
