Ooh, good question! My music knowledge is a bit limited, but I’ll take a crack at it.

(Spoiler: this ended up being more of a ’what is their general music taste’ type of thing. Oops.)

Carlisle - I feel like he’s pretty much a classical guy, through and through. After all, he’s lived through the birth and rise of many great composers and musicians and has probably seen a few of them live. It’s kind of tough to top that. I feel like he does have a genuine appreciation for natural talent, though, and will sometimes listen to some more modern (but probably still acoustic) songs. He also likes to listen to anything Esme likes, simply because he likes to watch her smile as she hums along.

Esme - Esme likes soft, romantic music. She likes to get lost in the songs and the feelings they bring up, and probably has a lot of memories connected to them. Nothing sad, though, just some happy love vibes for her. I kind of get a little Sinatra vibe from her, maybe a little Crosby, too. If we go more ’modern,’ I think she would like artists like Norah Jones and Michael Bublé, maybe even someone like Sarah Bareilles. When it comes to Esme and music, the most important thing is emotion. She doesn’t care about the small details, just as long as she can hear that the artist really poured their heart into it.

Jasper - Jasper is a complete mystery to me, to be honest. The books don’t give much to go on when it comes to his character, so I don’t really get a clear vibe from him. Maybe something like indie folk, bluegrass or southern blues. Good rhythm with a dark, mysterious vibe to it.

Alice - Alice likes up-and-comers, small indie bands and artists she can see glimpses of in her future. I feel like her favourite artists would have this unique and maybe a bit weird vibe to their music, but true talent and a good sound altogether. The only example I can give off the top of my head would maybe be someone like Ibeyi.

Emmett - I feel like Emmett’s approach to music is pretty much ’whatever, dude,’ in the best way possible. He likes mellow, upbeat songs that get him pumped. Songs that go well with parties and get-togethers, ones that make good background music for fun memories. I don’t think he cares that much about the messages the songs have.

Rosalie - She’s a bitch-ass queen and her music taste reflects it. Marina and the Diamonds, Lily Allen, etc. She likes songs with strong feminist messages, some a bit cynical but mostly ones about self appreciation and assertiveness that make her feel (even) better about herself.

Edward - I feel like he’s not so angsty and brooding anymore now that he has a wife and a kid. Definitely still a music snob, though. He likes some mainstream pop (@twilight-af said Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran and I can definitely see that, they nail that ’tortured love’ sort of vibe) and I’d imagine he likes some indie artists as well—he recognises real talent when he hears it and is all about the feel of the music, how well it flows and how natural it sounds. Mostly acoustic, and he definitely has a soft spot for the piano.
