For a long time the Gallagher brothers had a loving relationship with Q magazine and the awards. Past bash attendees fondly recall the time that Liam stood up on a chair to call Chris Martin pot plant.

However this summer Oasis split up. They lost out today to Muse, who was named as the world’s best band.

Best album award went to Kasabian’s “West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum,” the band’s third album. It has been widely praised for its exploratory sound. Tom Meighan, the band’s singer, confused the award for being best live act, and dedicated the award to his gran.

The obligatory controversy was provided by Lily Allen. Her tune “the Fear” won best song. Previously the singer had posed in a Q cover with two roaring panthers while in her stockings. Last week the cover earned an industry award. Allen claimed her award while drinking from a pint matching her sequined dress. When she sat down she lit up a cigarette. The ballroom was a no-smoking one, but nobody was brave enough to ask her to put the cigarette out.

Along with the acts that the Q editors and readers view as British music’s future, Amy Winehouse made an appearance that was characteristically skittish. There were also the awards genuinely deserved being doled out to all of the grandees of rock. Edwyn Collins was recognized as legend of the year, while Marianne Faithfull was named the icon. Specials won the inspiration award while Cat Stevens was recognized as the classic songwriter.

The with the most acclaim at the end, Robert Plant was recognized for his outstanding contributions to music. Led Zeppelin’s front man made a lyrical and moving speech looking back at this career. He thanked everyone, ranging from Clarksdale, Mississippi songs and daughters to Steve Bull, former Wolves striker.

“The Unforgettable Fire,” U2’s album, was awarded classic album award. The classic song was “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood, with its unofficial ban on Radio 1.

According to NME.com, Oasis was awarded as Best British Band, while Noel Gallagher, guitarist, was awarded as Best Band Blog.

Muse’s “HAARP” was awarded with Best Album Artwork as well as Best Live Band. Matt Bellamy, the frontman for Muse was named as the Sexiest Male. Hayley Williams of Paramore was named Sexiest Female.

Best Venue went to London Astoria and Best Live Event was Glastonbury 2008.

Tim Burton presented The Cure with the award for Godlike Genius. According to a report from Billboard, Burton said that the only thing saving him while he was working unhappily as a Disney animator was the band’s music.
