Can we actually separate the art from the artist? Well, if you're willing to contort yourself around some pretty terrible behavior, the art you are separating from the artists involved better be worth it. Only the best of the best can get away with being the worst of the worst and have us still wanting to enjoy their art. From bleak to dark, this list and the stories involved might make the squeamish squeam - fair warning! Who else to help us navigate these treacherous waters than our old dear friends from Milwaukee, Chris Van Gompel, DJ Hostettler and Dixie Jacobs. Here in Top Ten "Separate The Art" Artists Part 1, we discuss Picks 10-6 of this problematic cast of characters, but we also get to rock out with some of their amazing creations.

These guys are always busy with the rocking out and such. Go listen to and see IfIHadAHiFi and Body Futures live when they're in your area. Follow them on the 'gram' for more info:
