Thank you for sharing, everyone!
I’m slowly going through the comments and enjoying a variety of good and interesting music!
I dunno if it would be classed as obscure any more seen as it now has over 2m plays, but when I first heard it 4 years ago it was for sure obscure.
I also remember when it was obscure but i keep seeing it pop up as a meme of absurdity, which it is, of course. I think most people don’t realize the level of virtuosity on display.

Probably not obscure per se, as it is the main theme of Raziel and Kain’s conflict in Soul Reaver, but Ozar Midrashim - Information Society, is one piece that I deeply enjoy.
There’s a metal cover of the game’s music, “Between the Zones”, with Wasteland Midrashim and Forgotten Lament being some I enjoy a lot.
Not an obscure song, but the acapella version of Africa by Perpetuum Jazzile is less well known and pretty amazing. They have lots of amazing covers, but this it’s my favorite.
Allegra by Cirque du Soleil is a song I don’t even really know the genre of, but the lyrics (half in a language I don’t understand) and the vocals and the way the intensity builds - this is just an incredibly uplifting song for me and pretty far outside the music I normally enjoy.
I guess everyone knows Green Grass and High Tides by the Outlaws, but some of the other songs from their debut album were pretty good as well. I love Song in the Breeze when I’m in that mood. That might be the most obscure song I’ve listed since it’s only at about 160k views.
Other than those, I don’t think I know any really obscure music unless just by sheer dint of old age knowing stuff that predates half the internet.
Decapitated Camels by Simon Swerwer
Brand New Key by The Dollyrots
and the original version by Melanie
Not sure if it’s obscure since I don’t go out much, but “Tastes like Candy” by Kissing Violet and “Wolf” by AlicebanD.
I’m Against the Government - Defiance, Ohio
No Life King - Black Pyramid is under 40k views so probably that.
My first thought was Cryptkey - Windhand, or some Electric Wizard, but they are definitely more popular in general.
I don’t know how obscure this is because it was on the Skate 3 soundtrack. However, I’ve never met a person that knew the song, and it’s not on any music streaming services, so I think it’s a little obscure.
