So I want to build a norse-style barbarian who seeks to become a White Dragon Disciple. What would be the best spontaneous caster class to meet the spell requirement?

What do you mean by best?

Class with the most varied spell options?

Class that is most thematically appropriate for your concept?

Duskblade has a good chasis. It has alot of spell slots, full bab, can cast in armor.
But it doesn't have alot of spells. (I think slightly less than what Sorcerer gets) and more limited.

Fluffwise, definitely Savage Bard.

Best is wrong wording I suppose. What would be ideal complimentary for a classic viking barbarian fluff-wise.

Ninja'd.

Savage Bard looks good.

Magical Training (sorcerer) feat allow to qualify for Dragon Disciple without having any actual spellcasting class

If you want more flavor, Dragon #344 have Anagakok - wild & illiterate variant of Wizard.

First level CF "Anagakok Spontaneous Casting" should satisfy "Spellcasting: Ability to cast arcane spells without preparation" requirement

Skald or White Draconic Bloodrager (both Adv. Class) fit the fluff very well.

A dip into Warrior Skald gives you ALL bardic music if you go down the Savage Bard route. Keeps you up to date on the types of music you can cast, while Dragon Disciple gives you extra spells per day. I can't remember the pre-reqs or other features off the top of my head, though as I'm AFB.

I was just about to suggest Bloodrager. Alternately, there's the Eldritch Scion archetype for Magus.
