By deep I mean with the most obscure original. I am not talking 'all along the watch tower' but things like Fever Ray's cover of Vashti Bunyan's song Here before

Fever Ray is relatively well known while Bunyan had very limited success

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.

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

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.
