By popular I really mean "frickin' huge". As in multiple Platinum type of sales... As far as rock bands go, it's been a long time since we've seen an extremely talented band that enjoyed massive sales, say on the level of REM, Nirvana, early U2, etc.
Plenty of solo acts and plenty of non-rock stuff but IMO, popular rock/alternative has gone in directions I don't like much over the past 15 years. There are plenty of popular smaller acts I enjoy (Modest Mouse, for example), but nothing huge that I can think of.
