The 80s had some weird ass music videos.

It was a new frontier. lol, yea, some of them don't hold up very well. There were new technologies becoming available and sometimes they were used just to be using the latest thing and not because they helped tell a story. And you'd see one video break ground with a style or technology and then a bunch of others use it.
Also, it was a good medium for young new filmmakers. They didn't have the budget or reputation to make big movies, but they could make a video. And you could try things in a video you couldn't risk in a big movie.

still a cool song but it has
a water treatment plant, some stuffy inspector, impossibly loud decibels on a meter, exploding head, dropped pants. Giving no F's about pointing a laser at an eye.
While he didn't do it in this video when Halford walks around in ass-less chaps its Metal not gay.

Always seemed weird to me that the drummer for Mr. Mister plays with King Crimson. That's quite the move in musical direction!

Sledgehammer showcased the infinite possibilities of animation by turning Gabriel's head into ice and most of his face to fruit. Welcome to the 80's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJWJE0x7T4Q

kids..... I grew up watching mtv in it's infancy, and yea, the video's were cheesy beyond compare at times, but they were what they were.
This, imo, was one of the absolute worst

but then there was this, which was pretty freaking cool considering the technology at the time

This song has always struck me as odd. But the song is great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWtCittJyr0

It's like they just discovered compositing, take an image not in footage and insert it into the footage. Then they just kept compositing over and over lol. I'm sure they thought it was really cool back then.

Yeah, this video was considered state of the art back then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAD6Obi7Cag (That's Sting in the background BTW)
I'll add this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwuy4hHO3YQ

I listened to that before posting because I noticed it had so many hits. But nope, I'm pretty sure I've never heard it.
Is this like 80s pop? lol. I grew up listening to 50s and 60s rock, and graduated to hard rock/metal in the mid 90s. I guess I've just never listened to a station that would play such things.
