Besides, i'd certainly say that someone like Avril Lavigne is FAR better at what she does, than a band like, say, Blonde Redhead are at what THEY do.

avril has a LOT of help, from producers tweaking every single track on her songs, to writers writing the music to writers writing her songs to npublicists ensuring she only plays where the 13 year old girls can go see her to the sound guy at every show tweaking the board to ensure she "hits" the right notes etc etc etc
soooo
she in no way is better at what she does (top 40 ear-friendly rock) than Blonde Redhead is at what they do (sometimes sonically difficult avant rock)
