Impossible to decide my best.

I've just realized the thread title specifies "1980s"!

David Bowie was very poor for much of the 80s. Coldplay didn't even exist.

Best: Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, The Church
Worst: Van Halen, Motorhead.

The best and the worst is impossible to say. We would need objective criteria...
Especially worst is not to say, since nobody knows all the also-rans: small bands who made one CD and somehow distributed that via their concerts.

Why on Earth would you think this thread is NOT asking for people's subjective opinions and that it's asking for objective facts instead?
