Matthew Sweet, "Girlfriend"
Def Leppard, "Animal" (hey, I'm taking Jake's advice about trash-culture, and embracing it!!)
Roxette, "The Look"
Lyle Lovett, "I've Been To Memphis"

...not as easy to think up these things on the quick...

I just learned that this is known as the "Clearmountain pause" after legendary engineer/producer/mixer Bob Clearmountain's technique of inserting a dramatic pause in a recording. Look at his credits and you'll find tons of songs with Clearmountain pauses in them.

Only one comes to mind, but it will do just fine:
The Four Tops, "Bernadette." That song gives me chills.

Everything But the Girl "Little Hitlers". It's not really a pause, more of a crescendo with strings where everything suddenly drops away leaving only piano and tasteful rhythm section, but for a mili-second it feels like all sound has been sucked out of the ether.
