I've got several high end contenders, from the top of my head:
When it comes to 80's, only very few could contend with Modern Talking back in the day, not only in album sales and the amount of posters in teenage rooms, but also in a unique style - and they were never afraid to use advanced visual effects either:
Elton John is also responsible for one of the most colorful videos in the music history, I am always close to experiencing an epilleptic attack whenever having a chance to watch this vid:
And if you want to experience a whole new level of ubergay, you need to go exotic and visit Bulgaria:
On a side note - I've always been a fond admirer of Army of Lovers, they put up a stellar line up of some of the most amazing creatives in the music video history, such as this:
They are genius.
And the nuttiest video of the 80's?
that's a very, very tough, if not an impossible call - but Adam and the Ants may be coming close.
