“Q” Unable To Relax, Prematurely Hands Out Award

The British rockists’ bible Q is having its own awards show this Monday, and to whet peoples’ appetite (or, you know, just remind people that they have a whole weekend to get really excited about the prospect of Kings Of Leon being honored by the British guitar-based-music-fan public), the first award was bestowed today: The Classic Song Award, which has been nabbed by Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s early-’80s smash “Relax.” Well, yeah, that’s sort of an undeniable match there. Damn you, Q, for being all snarkproof for once! Those of you who would like to compare the offerings of now to Frankie’s jam can peruse the nominee list in full after the jump.
