It wasn't really started in the 80's. Influences came as early 1964 when the Beatles put out "a hard days night" which includes numerous musical segments that heavily influenced many other musicians. Bob Dylans Subterranean Homesick Blues which came out in 1966 has been imitated time and time again. Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek of the Doors were both into film and that band also created a few "videos".
The first artist to combine all the elements of the modern music video is David Bowie. His promotional clip for the song jean genie, which was released in 1972. By the time the 80s rolled around releasing a music video to go with a single was standard.

"Video Killed the Radio Star" is a New Wave song released in 1979 by the British group The Buggles that celebrates the golden days of radio. With broadcast-quality vocals and a bouncy rhythm, the song plays like a jingle. It's a fitting sound, considering the song tells of a singer whose career is cut short by television. Group member Trevor Horn has said that his lyrics were inspired by the J.G. Ballard short story The Sound-Sweep, in which the title character, a deaf and dumb boy vacuuming up stray music in a world without it, comes upon an opera singer hiding in a sewer. He also felt "an era was about to pass."
Appropriately, considering its subject matter, the music video for the song, directed by Russell Mulcahy, was the first to be shown on MTV, when the ground-breaking music channel debuted on August 1, 1981, at 12:15 A.M. On February 27, 2000 it also became the millionth video to be aired on MTV.

"The Buggles" had the very first video on MTV with "Video Killed the Radio Star".
But it was Michael Jackson that made videos what they are today. I know he's not a band, but he used to be the man.

The Buggles will get credit for the first video to play on MTV, but as far as revolutionizing videos I have to cast my votes for the obvious in The Cars and Peter Gabriel.
