I have a big heart for all of them, and I am particular in love with #ConnectionMachineLisp, though Steele didn't manage to fully resolve some issues with the semantics of the alpha-beta syntax.
However, since this work predates #CLOS, I consider it possible to resolve those issues with a language design which still uses the #Xapping concept, but combined with #MOP generic dispatch.
