Yea, I knew Lennon was a stretch. But he never went "off the deep end". He was generally coherent and productive.

Angus Young
Second best selling album of all time and one of the most important band's ever; AC/DC mainman did it all without chemicals
Steve Albini
With music that concise drugs would be a definite hindrance.
Poly Styrene
One of the best lyric writers of the punk era, her amazing imagination was untouched by drugs. God bless.
Ian Mackaye
Famously invented Straight Edge and also recorded some great psychedelic records with late period Fugazi.
Ravi Shankar
Went really out there musically and a genuine master. No drugs.
Ian Anderson
First Jethro Tull album is brilliant, like a British Captain Beefheart.
Bruce Springsteen
Drug free producer of big anthems.
Kiss
More like a glammed up supermarket than a band, Kiss didn't take drugs.
J Mascis
May look like a wizard but was never a drug fiend.
Adam Ant
Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? Well, made arguably the most original album of the punk period that's as sow word that it should have been done on drugs.
Morrissey
Anti rock n roll Moz didn't need drugs to open up his amazing imagination.
Frank Zappa
Famously anti drug and loved by pot smokers world wide
John Mclaughlin
Like Zappa, no drugs but loved by drug heads...
Ted Nugent
Maybe the true inventor of Straight Edge, unpleasant man who had a brief period of rocking greatness.
Henry Rollins
No drugs here either and who's going to argue?
AFI
Glam horror punks with total tattoos and top 5 american album also no drugs.
Rage Against The Machine
Concise powerful music needs concise powerful minds.

It's a good question, but really, any music great gives up their life. With or without drugs.

Impressive list 
Although I could name tons more artist that did use drugs heavily, and are more popular than those listed.

This is the direction I wanted to go with this thread. I never thought of it like that, but drug use has way more lasting affects than long studio sessions.
