This is probably a good list but I really hope no one is intimidated and decides not to read SICP at all. I have to add another voice saying that it's really not that hard. I'm into chapter 5 and I found it not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be, challenging but not insurmountable. The writing is extremely clear and it really builds up the material at a good (not too fast, or too slow) pace. It's a terrific book and well worth the effort.
I don't know about the other lectures listed but the 1986 lectures are worth a watch, they are quite motivating since both authors exhibit an infectious enthusiasm.
