You asked for stars - not bands people like. I'm not a big fan but U2 are probably one the biggest band in the world right now in terms of crowd pulling, ticket sales, record sales etc. Otherwise Bruce Springsteen still massive, Radiohead a massive following - none of which can be described as pop.Are there anymore rock and roll stars or is everyone pop now?
Jack White
Dan Auerbach
Dave Grohl
Scott Weiland
Mike Patton
Billie Joe Armstrong
Andrew Stockdale
Tim "Ripper" Owens (don't know if he counts as mainstream, though)

And as for bands, don't listen to what underground extremists say about mainstream rock, there's stil plenty of great mainstream rock bands around today...

The Black Keys
Stone Temple Pilots
A Perfect Circle
Wolfmother
CKY
Creed
Shinedown
Foo Fighters
The White Stripes
Jet
Velvet Revolver
Porcupine Tree
The Mars Volta
