Elite: Lore

...and since E:D is playing quite a bit into the future as well, even further then most Trek series (with exception of the latest season of Discovery), I would like to do a somewhat different discussion that not only is regarding E:D's lore but in some way your personal tastes as well:
Which piece of music do you think would be considered "classic music" by 3306 and where do you think would it be most popular: Inside the Federation, the Empire, the Alliance or independent systems?

Popular inside the Empire, obviously:

Rule of thumb, if it's really really popular, there's a chance it will make it. ... But not if it's South Park-esk. That's too silly.

Aaaaanyway, before we start derailing anymore, I think this one would suit the Feds quite well:

@Sakashiro:
If we're going to associate a piece of classical music with the Empire, then it's the 4th movement from "From the New World" by Dvořák:

Out of boredom I decided to pay all the generation ships a visit (thank you Canonn for that nice list you have on where they are) and listen to their logs.
I just finished with the Atlas.
Its logs point out that once we are able to land on earthlikes we might discover a rather interesting surprise somewhere between Sol and Charick Drift.
Just listen to those logs yourselves: Logs of the Atlas, title: "No Brakes"

A poignant story. Call me an incurably plausible & engineer-minded type, but I can't help but wonder, if it had been me on board, I'd have to wonder & ask, if that ship could steer to alter course, it should have been able to shut down the main drives, spin around (albeit slowly) so they were aimed in the opposite direction & then fired up again.
Surely, not without the fine control need to, say, maneuver into orbit successfully, but...
Then, the story wouldn't be poignant. As the saying goes, 'One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.'
Unless, maybe, one were to use powdered eggs? Hey, do powdered eggs come from powdered chickens?

Liberty's Horizon at Charunder A1
A ship with a name like that I would associate more with the Federation, not the Empire.
Wings of Peace at Ennead B1a
This ship's name would raise red flags to me no matter if it's Federal, Imperial, Alliance or independant...
Hope's Sanctuary at HIP 36081 3
Somehow I doubt that this ship was originally named this way.
Freedom's Chance at LTT 1935 6a
This name I would associate more with an independent system then an Imperial one.
Spirit Of Solidarity at LTT 3607 A6 and Future Dreams at Thetis C
Those are the only two I would consider legit names for freighters that have been repurposed as refugee vessels on a short notice.
