Even though Blur have most likely called it quits and the Stone Roses haven't released a new album since 1994, each bands is up for two Q Awards this year. The popular British music magazine, which present the awards, announced its nominees earlier today (Sept. 6).

Blur and the Stone Roses were nominated in the Best Act in the World Today and Best Live Act categories. In the former, they are competing against Coldplay, Muse and Lady Gaga, and in the latter, they will see challenges from the Cribs, Bruce Springsteen and Radiohead. A victory by Springsteen could take the sting out of what happened in London this summer, when police abruptly ended his concert in Hyde Park because he -- and special guest Paul McCartney, no less -- had broken curfew.

Other nominees included the Black Keys (Best Album), Gotye, fun. and Florence + the Machine (Best Track) and Alabama Shakes (Best New Act). The complete list of nominees is below.

The Q Awards will be held in London on Oct. 2.
