Well, your second statement was not really accurate or even really coherent. CL and Clojure both have relatively simple syntax compared to most mainstream languages because of their use of S-expressions. Although reader macros mean they aren't purely S-expressions.

Paul Graham is well-known for claiming that Lisp is better than all other languages: http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html
