Oasis Get 3 NME Nominations
Oasis NME readers have shown they are still fond of the group by also voting them on to the shortlists for best video and best live event.
PA reports that the Arctic Monkeys, whose third album 'Humbug' topped the charts last year, landed nods for six awards at the awards ceremony which takes place on February 24.
Kasabian are their biggest challengers with five nominations, while Muse clock up four.
Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys said: "It's a good thing knowing we're still up for these awards - Kasabian have said that there aren't any other proper rock bands apart from us and them. I don't necessarily agree completely but I know what they're saying. I think we're just co-existing nicely."
The female act to get most nods is Florence And The Machine with three nominations while Lady GaGa and La Roux both landed a pair.
The prized best album title will be fought between Arctic Monkeys' 'Humbug', Kasabian's 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum', Muse's 'The Resistance', the Cribs' 'Ignore The Ignorant' and The Horrors' 'Primary Colours'.
