Nothing could even compare to Queen. Freddie Mercury sang with a passion usually reserved for Kareoke bars, and totally sold it. No one could even come close.
Well, maybe Bowie. But his is a completely different kind of "I'm shower singing to my own music" brilliance.
Well, there was The Darkness, who wanted to be Queen so bad and it was hilarious. But then they're falsetto-y lead singer went to rehab and they reformulated themselves and I have no idea what they sound like now.
Muse would be another good bet. They just sound like they could be tv music, whatever that means. Maybe Jet, who also has that indefinable 'I could hear this as a theme song' quality.
Also, one can never go wrong with Journey, but that's not exactly a current pop band- they're eternal.
