I'm not really crazy about modern music, there hasn't been a band yet that caught my attention. Guns n' Roses were the last real band, in my book.

None of the bands listed are really BIG though.
Green Day are big... U2 are bigger with parents than kids I think.
But bands like My Chemical Romance, Disturbed, SOAD... They all just have their little pockits of fans.
Nirvana, Metallica, Pearl Jam and GNR were HUGE while still being totally un-mainstream. The mainstream conformed to them, they didn't go out trying to be like everyone else.
There is no one who can compare SOAD to the popularity of Metallica in the Black Album days.
Even a band like Audioslave is nowhere as big as Soundgarden were in '94 for example.
Rock music has taken a backseat to rap as "the most popular music."
I think its a good thing. It was big for too long. Now there is finally a new Alternative scene growing. And by "alternative," I mean just that. Its different/un-mainstream.
Bands like Modest Mouse, Interpol and The Shins make me happy to be alive these days. Reminds me of the scene REM were a part of in the 80s.
Look past your TV screen and you'll find a world of great music

it's so difficult to judge with all the music downloads causing cd sales to slump so much... cd sales wise... probally green day... even though im not quite sure i consider them rock...
then you might want to take a look at concert sales to judge... Bon Jovi's Have A Nice Day Tour is a massive success... U2's Vertigo tour was a massive success as well...
But really, its so hard to judge with downloads and such...

Their aren't really "huge" rock bands of mass appeal like there were in the early 90's, the musical climate is very different to how it was back then. But if I was to pick a few that still have a pretty big following I'd say Foo Fighters, Audioslave, U2, Metallica, Green Day.
