How Important Do You Think Drugs Are to Music?

Question by fluorescent *: How important do you think drugs are to music?
I often hear people say “all good bands are on drugs”, which I don’t think is true. I believe a person’s ability to create music is a matter of talent, not consumption of drugs. That’s just my opinion, at least.

But on the other hand, most successful (and good) bands and artists have been on LOTS of drugs, and been through rehab, etc..

So, yeah. Opinions?

It creates a very relatable topic for songs, but I think it’s best for bands to stay off drugs.
