I'd personally avoid SICP unless you have an interest in writing programming languages or solving math problems. I personally found it really boring, and couldn't get through it.
My own personal taste also leans towards Scheme (especially Chicken Scheme), so that's what I'd recommend. To me it feels more elegant, more modern, and of lighter weight than Common Lisp. I'm also kind of allergic to the JVM and Clojure's non-lispy innovations in syntax, so I'd personally avoid it too.
That said, I myself started with Common Lisp and then moved on to Scheme and then Emacs Lisp (which is a decent choice of Lisp to learn, in that, despite some shortcomings, it puts the entire Emacs ecosystem at your fingertips). Once I'd learned Common Lisp, I found learning the rest to be quite easy.
