If people in distant history were to listen to our contemporary music would anyone like it or would it sound too alien to be enjoyable? Because it seems to me that medieval folk music is actually quite good, but I wonder if they would think the same of modern music.
Does music just always sound good regardless of time or culture or is your appreciation of it dependent on previous experience?

Watch Back to the Future where Marty was playing Johnny B Goode at the ball and suddenly rocks out a David Hasslehoff solo and everyone goes wtf

Tchaikovsky would be considered "modern" to them, and I bet they would love it. Some aspects of folk music are probably a generational thing that can go across boundaries. There's a reason a person and their guitar , or something playing piano, is still an enjoyable thing at the most basic aspect of music.
We largely like theirs so I assume at least some of it would appeal to them.
Obvious lots of it like metal and anything electronic would sound extremely alien to them.

Would actual vikings like Burzum?

contrary to what objectivists (memes) will tell you, you like of music is based on what you hear in your natural world, what music you have heard before, what sounds you associate good memories with, and to a lesser extent on what your society determines and "teaches you" sounds good
so ask yourself-- does it sound like something a medieval peasant would have heard before? lots of traditional folk music might be familiar. electronic dance music, disco, rock and roll, etc would sound like noise. medieval peasant didn't encounter such abrasive sounds in his everyday life. now we are oversaturated with sound and are used to it--- cars, highway noise, machines, radio, television, huge crowds, etc

I think they would appreciate most of his post-prison stuff.

I think some EDM might be pleasing to them because it's very basic and people tend to be comforted by rhythmic sounds. After all, pretty much all cultures had drums so it's not that much of a stretch, it would probably just sound super crisp and ethereal.
They'd find it boring.
