Viva La Vida is best album

Coldplay’s world-conquering Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends was named Best Album today at the 2008 Q Awards with Russian Standard Vodka.

The band’s Brian Eno-produced fourth album sealed their reputation as one of the world’s biggest acts by topping the charts in the UK and US simultaneously this summer.

The award – sponsored by Nixon – was voted for by readers of Q and QtheMusic.com. Last year it went to Amy Winehouse for Back To Black.

Collecting the award, frontman Chris Martin said: “This is fucking awesome, thanks a lot it’s a bit like a wedding speech because everyone here is either friends with us or slagged us off in the Daily Mirror. Our band is a tight unit even though it seems like one man with a balding haircut."

Martin then inadvertantly claimed the band were "the biggest band in the world", before correcting himself. "Well not quite the biggest band in the world," he corrected himself. "U2 are on holiday. Radiohead are on holiday. So we’re kind of substitute teachers. I think this is one of the greatest acceptance speeches of all time.”

Other nominees for the 2008 Best Album title were:

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Dig!!! Lazarus, Dig!!!

This is simply they way it HAD to be.

Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends is the best album of 2008, (incluiding the upcoming albums such as Perfect Symmetry, Dig Out Your Soul). There's not gonna be a better album than this one this year.

Viva La Vida? Best Album? Oh come on.
Fleet Foxes knocks several thousand spots off Coldplays effort. And Raising Sand was not even nominated? Hmmm, who decides this?
I reckon the Q awards just lost some credibility. Well, with me anyway!!

Don't know why Radiohead weren't nominated either. Viva la Vida or Death and All his Friends is quite a good album, but I liked In Rainbows better. I agree with Martin's comments too: "U2 are on holiday. Radiohead are on holiday. So we’re kind of substitute teachers."

Coldplay are the best band in the world and this is the best album of the year? Could you be any more unoriginal....and wrong? For the love of god this is a music magazine not a watered down generic s**t magazine. That's like calling The Da Vinci Code the best book of all time.

in rainbows and raising sand were both released last year - maybe that's why they weren't nominated this year...
