What band/artist had the biggest influence on music and culture in the shortest time?
(shortest relative to their influence)

Velvet underground. 3 years.

The Beatles. 1 year (1964).

The strokes. 1 year (2001).
Set off the mainstream alternative sound of the 2000s (the killers, franz ferdinand, interpol, Arctic Monkeys, the libertines, kings of leon)

This and
Bob Dylan 1964-1966

Skrillex
Singlehandedly invented dubstep which became THE biggest music genre in the new millenium

This. Skrillex is way more talented than ol retard voice Bob Dylan.

Everyone is talking about a period in a band's existence, but I understood this in reference to things like......

The Smiths 1982-1987
Joy Division 1976-1980

Both bands had major impact for how long they were around.

Sex Pistols

Hey, what do you expect, Popular artist have influence.

Yes, apparently only the specific brand of popular artists endorsed by rolling stone

This is the best answer

Hank Williams changed the face of country in only 6 years.

Some could argue he created country music, and everything previous was either bluegrass or western swing.

There's some other artists in the time period who may have inspired him, such as Tex Ritter or Jimmie Davis, but Hank largely set the tone for country music over the next 3-4 Decades.

Nirvana I'd like to think

Not a fan, but I can't disagree.

Charlie Christian. Single-handedly popularized the electric guitar. 2-3 years.

No it didn't, it went from '66 to '69 then reformed briefly in '70 but Hendrix died before anything happened.

Justin Bieber.
