Well rightfully the answer is Little Richard 
. . . or Michael Sweet, I can't quite decide . . .
. . . maybe Lemmy

Primarilly because the actual premise is ridiculous. It's like asking "What is the greatest meal of all time ? " or "which is the greatest year of all time ?" !
None of these things have anything to do with how good a singer is. Although they might.
You measure a singer in the most sensible way possible - irrationally ! You either like a singer or you don't. And you'll have your own reasons for doing so. And they're valid.
I genuinely like Ringo Starr's voice when he was with the Beatles. Geoff Emerick says he always strained to keep on pitch. Well at least he tried !! No autotuning for Ringo ! Lennon and McCartney had their own solution - write songs in keys that didn't make him strain and keep the notes few and simple.
It wasn't rocket science.
If I was dictator of the world, I would eradicate the word 'greatest' from everyone's vocabulary. But in my more benevolent moments, I would simply outlaw "greatest", "of" "all" and "time" from showing up in the same sentence.
Unless I wanted my subjects to express themselves in some no holds barred arguing.
It's either Little Richard or Udo Dirkschneider![]()
What's funny is that many of the posts are obviously just for humor, which is great, a lot appear to be legitimate artists that I have never heard of. I guess I'm not hip anymore :-(
