Week 3 (Ready to roll) Activity 4

Ready to Roll

Watch the following three clips that were shown on the Ready to Roll programme:Golden Harvest

Ray Columbus and the Invaders

New Zealand Underdogs

When you have finished, rank the clips in order from your most favourite (#1) to your least favourite (#3). Post your rankings on your blog.

#1 My favorite was I Need Your Love by Golden Harvest because it have a really nice beat to it and it keeps in the rhythm to the song (Lyrics).

#2 Ray Columbus and the Invaders - She's A Mod. This has a nice beat but the drums to me kind of take over his voice not by much but only just the tiniest bit. 

#3 Is Sittin' in the rain by New Zealand under dogs. The reason I didn't like this song is because the tune to the song was kind of random and the bongo was taking over the voice.
