Clarke is rather modest compared to Asimov, who was blowing his own trumpet ceaselessly. So much so, in fact, that it rather turned into a joke.
I like Rendezvous with Rama and the Odyssey series, but when I first read A Fall of Moondust, I was blown away. Clarke has been criticized for writing flat characters, but that book at least had characters who were anything but flat. I really like The Deep Range as well.
