Two that are not at all obscure to but often overshadowed by their covers... i love the Four Seasons version of Beggin - https://youtu.be/d5AfvOk57bE?feature=shared

Same for the Everly Brothers doing Love Hurts - https://youtu.be/hFE2SnliiV0?feature=shared

Edit to add - i didn't know Peace, Love, and Understanding was Nick Lowe's.

This remix of a cover is pretty good

RIP Jeff Beck

Literally any cover of "Hold Me Closer" by Cornelia Jacobs.

"House of the Rising Sun" has been covered numerous times. The most known version is from The Animals. I was today years old when I learned that this is the original version of the song. However, my personal favourite cover version is from BTO.

Another well-executed cover version is of the song "Johnny B. Goode", covered by Peter Tosh, beause it is tranferred into a different music genre.

Bowling For Soup covered 1985 as the original came from SR-71

Collective Soul covered the Morphine song You speak my language

Stille Volk’s cover of Iron Maiden’s To Tame A Land:

Stille Volk - Adoumestica Una Terro

Hard to pick one, but murder by death has quite the number of them... But them covering the 90s rnb classic 'creep' was a shock

Got My Mind Set on You by George Harrison is a cover of Got My Mind Set on You by James Ray

Bizarre Love Triangle. The original is some very bad pop music. New Years Day brought it not only to rock, but into being really good too.

The Breeders "Drivin' on 9" was a cover of song by an obscure band called Ed's Redeeming Qualities. The Breeders version is IMO sweet and meloncholy but the original is rather weird.

Probably The Man Who Sold the World covered by Midge Ure, which I find much better than Bowies original or the famous Nirvana cover.

Also really like Renegades cover by 36 Crazyfists.
