I'm looking for some psychedelic rock songs but I can only find bands. If anyone knows of some good acid rock songs could you please post them? I'm looking for strictly music, the less lyrics the better. You can post some Pink Floyd songs if you'd like, but those I have already. Thanks.

Check:
"Space Progressive Rock : Space rock was developed in the late 60's and early 70's by bands like HAWKWIND, PINK FLOYD and TANGERINE DREAM. These bands created a sound dominated by long synthesizer driven instrumental sequences, echo treaded electric guitars, having much space for improvisations and using science fiction themes for songs, lyrics and album arts. Hawkwind is the genre's key innovator. Examples: HAWKWIND, early PINK FLOYD and TANGERINE DREAM, ALIEN PLANETSCAPES, QUARKSPACE, AMON DÜÜL (the English lineup)."

You might want to look for an album by John Oswald called "Grayfolded" where he uses a technique called plunderphonics to remix about 100 different versions of Dark Star recorded over 30 or so years - the trip...is a 108 minutes...across two discs.

Well, I know Pink Floyd has songs with some weird effects that make it really trippy. It seems like grateful dead is just playing around, which is cool, but not exactly what i'm looking for.
From allmusic.com:
Decades after their brief yet influential career first ground to a sudden and mysterious halt, the Silver Apples remain one of pop music's true enigmas: a surreal, almost unprecedented duo, their music explored interstellar drones and hums, pulsing rhythms and electronically-generated melodies years before similar ideas were adopted in the work of acolytes ranging from Suicide to Spacemen 3 to Laika. The Silver Apples formed in New York in 1967 and comprised percussionist Danny Taylor and lead vocalist Simeon, a bizarre figure who played an instrument also dubbed the Simeon, which (according to notes on the duo's self-titled 1968 debut LP) consisted of "nine audio oscillators and eighty-six manual manual controls...The lead and rhythm oscillators are played with the hands, elbows and knees and the bass oscillators are played with the feet." Although the utterly uncommercial record — an ingenious cacophony of beeps, buzzes and beats — sold poorly, the Silver Apples resurfaced a year later with their sophomore effort, Contact, another far-flung outing which fared no better than its predecessor. After the record's release, the duo seemingly vanished into thin air, perhaps returning to the alien world from whence they purportedly came; however, in 1996 the Silver Apples mysteriously resurfaced, as Simeon and new partner Xian Hawkins released the single "Fractal Flow." American and European tours followed, and a year later a new LP, Beacon, was released to wide acclaim. The follow-up Decatur appeared in 1998, and was soon joined by A Lake of Teardrops (a collaboration with avowed fans Spectrum) as well as The Garden, the long-unreleased third and final effort from the original Simeon/Taylor partnership. However, on November 1, 1998, the Silver Apples' van crashed while returning from a New York gig; the accident left Simeon with a broken neck and spinal injuries, casting his continued musical career in grave doubt.

Originally posted by wormwoodoh, well it threw me when he said "psychedelic rock" which is what acid rock is. Perhaps he should have called it progressive rock instead.

Sort of like asking about the best Mercedes Benz when what he wanted was a Hummer.
