Clojure is functional to the core, is built on its own seq abstraction rather than cons cells, and uses persistent immutable data structures for everything. It's not at all the same language as Common Lisp.

Common Lisp just feels like any other imperative dynamically-typed language to me.

Clojure on the other hand compelled me enough to learn lisp and emacs.

Same. I always liked the idea of lisp, but Scheme seemed like a nicer lisp to me than CL, but never grabbed me enough to really spend time with it. Clojure changed that completely to the point where it’s now my most used (but not only) language.
