I love 12" singles.  I started buying them back in 1985.  My first 12" single purchased was "19" by Paul Hardcastle (Extended Version b/w Destruction Mix and "The Asylum (It'z Weird)"  Today I probably have about 2,000 12" singles from the 80's on up.  Some of my faves from the 80's:

"Opportunities (Lets Make Lots Of Money)" (Shep Pettibone Mix) - Pet Shop Boys
"Feel The Spin" (Extended Dance Mix/John "Jellybean" Benitez) - Debbie Harry
"What I Like" (Extended Dance Mix/"Jellybean") - Anthony And The Camp
"Strangelove" (Pain Mix/PWL) - Depeche Mode
"What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)" (Club Mix/Lil' Louie Vega/Latin Rascals) - Information Society
"Let's Work" (Dance Mix/Steve Thompson & Michael Barbiero) - Mick Jagger
"American-Soviets" (Cameron Paul Remix) - C.C.C.P.
"Good Life" (Mixes by Mayday, Steve "Silk" Hurley, Juan Atkins, Mike "Hitman Wilson) - Inner City

Some 12" are definitely better than others. A few that I really like:
"Temptaion" -Heaven 17
"Move Away" -Culture Club
"We Will Together" -Eurogliders
"Small Town Boy" -Bronski Beat
"Bitter Desire" -Kids In The Kitchen
