Depends on the definition of rock star.
There's a ton of great bands that no one even knows about, because they didn't win the lottery selection process of record company suits. I understand your point, because there hasn't been a Bruce Springsteen or Mick Jagger in a long time -- but rock is mostly dead. Like I said, there's more great bands than ever, but rock is dead to the masses who mostly only know about top 40 and rap. It's sad.
