I've heard 12-inch remixes of...
AC/DC's You Shook Me
Pet Shop Boys' Opportunities
Roxette's The Look
Bananarama's Cruel Summer

Here's my contribution. The only criteria I used for my 12" list is the song could not be the same as the album cut:

1 - You Spin Me Round (Murder Mix) - Dead or Alive
2 - Join in the Chant - Nitzer Ebb
3 - Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order
4 - Point Of No Return - Nu Shooz
5 - Hungry Like the Wolf (Carnival Version) - Duran Duran
6 - Let's Go Crazy (Extended Movie Version) - Prince
7 - Free World - Jesse Johnson
8 - In the Air ('88 Remix) - Phil Collins
9 - Vive Le Rock (Extended Remix) - Adam Ant
10- New York - MCL

After further review, I have to add some more to my list (same criteria):

11-"New Sensation" by INXS
12-"Lips Like Sugar" by Echo and the Bunnymen
13-"Chains of Love" by Erasure
14-"Brand New Lover" by Dead or Alive
15-"One Thing Leads To Another" by The Fixx
16-"American-Soviets" by CCCP
17-"How Will I Know" by Whitney Houston
18-"Raspberry Beret" by Prince
19-"Fascinated" by Company B
20-"Material Girl" by Madonna

And a local band that most of you probably never heard of:

"Love is the Law" by The Suburbs

I forgot about that one.
I also would like to add:

"Personal Jesus" - Depeche Mode :)

I've got a few more:

-"Out Of Touch" by Hall & Oates
-"I Would Die 4 U" by Prince
-"Back In Time" by Huey Lewis & The News
-"Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer
-"Weird Science" by Oingo Boingo

I have them on CD (I made a few mix discs during my brief time in college, and I included other artists as well, everyone from AC/DC to Julie Andrews).

I have my parents basement full of 12 inches from my DJ days. My favorite will always be the Trevor Horn US Remix of ABC's The Look Of Love. It was the first 12" I ever bought after collecting 7" singles for a couple of years. I never returned to 7" singles after that. :)
