I think that you'd find that the only popular "main stream" rock bands worth listening to in such a session at this point are 10+ years old. U2, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, REM (but it's questionable whether anyone would listen at this point), Oasis. A possible exception is Coldplay, but unplugged seems like a strange format for them, for some reason.
I'm not sure that they're "main stream", but my nephew has a band (Modest Mouse) that has had some commercial success in the last year. They've been nominated for two grammys and have gotten a fair bit of radio play with their latest CD.
I can say from personal experience that Isaac is perfectly capable of producing an entertaining acoustic performance.
Not that we're proud of the lad or anything, but did I mention two grammy nominations? :)
