Two queues cover the 80% case: an implementation of BlockingQueue (array, linked list backed), and clojure.lang.PersistentQueue.
The former provides concurrency semantics: there are no 'stale values' issues associated to mutation, and you can choose whether your reads/writes are blocking (which is important, given that typically one wants bounded size queues) or not. The latter, just like the other persistent data structures, must be wrapped in a reference type in order to express change. There are also thread-unsafe queues (i.e. need locking), and SynchronousQueue, which while it's not actually a queue (it can never store a single element!), is a very handy reference type - like Clojure promises but reusable.
