How ridiculous is this list of awards presented at the Q Awards yesterday? Did they just invite all the music luminaries they could think of and then try and fit in awards that kind of suited them?
Q inspiration - A-ha
Q outstanding contribution to music - Smokey Robinson
Q Groundbreaker - Primal Scream
Q Icon - Jeff Lynne
Q Idol - Take That
Q Lifetime Achievement - Peter Gabriel
Q Merit - Manic Street Preachers
Q Legend - The Who
Q Band of bands - U2
Most of the awards seem to be copies of each other - I can understand a Lifetime achievement award and a groundbreaker type award but all the others seem like they're just they're given to ensure the attendance of pop stars. For a lifelong Q reader, this gives me yet another reason to stop buying it, in preference to The Word!
