Frank Zappa is my favorite artist and he didn't use drugs or have any mental illness. He was just brilliantly different and gifted.
I think some artists do create better music when a little off balance or on substances, but some just produce utter crap as well. It really depends on the person. I think Brian Wilson is great and he was definitely disturbed. Its hard to say with drug users though, since you don't know what was written or performed when high and what wasn't.
