I'm in a similar boat. Lostprophets, among other bands, were the soundtrack of mine and my friends' adolescent years, and therefore I associate the music with many of the fond memories that we made. That's how I choose to enjoy the music. It reminds me of the good times we had as teenagers trying to find our way in the world.
Of course Ian's horrendous crimes are always a thought in the back of my mind whenever I hear his voice, and I hope he rots behind bars forever. He is an absolute monster in the worst possible way.
But I'm also not going to let him forever ruin the music my friends and I loved so much growing up. He wasn't the only member in the band. I enjoy the music for everyone else in the band that helped create it, and for the good times.
