Florence and The Machine, Blur and Noel Gallagher among the nominees for this year's Q Awards along with the likes of Adele and Lady Gaga.
This year's prestigious awards will take place on October 22 and will yet again feature some of music's biggest names.

Reunited acts Blur and The Stone Roses are up for the title of Best Band In The World, while The Black Keys fight it out with likes of Bobby Womack and Paul Weller for Best Album.
"It's been the most incredible year for British music," Q editor Andrew Harrison said. "Our bands and our anthems transformed the Olympics into the greatest music event on Earth.
"And amazing comeback shows from Blur and the Stone Roses showed the enduring appeal of our greatest musicians. All the nominees for this year's Q Awards helped make 2012 an absolutely unforgettable year."
Fans can vote for their favourite acts on the Q website until early October. The ceremony will take place in London on October 22, hosted again by Al Murray.
