Does no one else have a problem with the fact that the Avett Brothers lead singer is a really bad singer? I mean that band sounds cool and all, but he's painful.
The problem is that your musical tastes are probably so narrow that you're limiting yourself to the same voices. It can take a while to acclimate yourself to a voice that isn't what you are familiar with.. it doesn't mean that they can't sing.
You think Bob Dylan is a good singer? Ever listen to Bright Eyes/Conor Oberst? The Mountain Goats (John Darnielle)? Leonard Cohen? Spencer Krug and his projects would blow your mind.
Alternatively... stick to listening to some of the stuff that the Avett Brothers is loosely rooted in. Check out Doug Wallin's version of Omie Wise. Or listen to some Doc Watson. Maybe some George Davis. Hell, more recently you could check out Old Crow Medicine Show. If you want some more classically beautiful voices and are into chicks, check out Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris.
A real singer's talent isn't and never-will-be rooted in his/her ability to make American Idol.
