Actually, it's 12 beats to a bar and each beat is an eighth note.
The time signature affects where the accents go, it's difficult to explain how exactly it changes the rhythm of a song, but Spoonman by Soundgarden (7/4, I believe, I can't think of any 12/8 off the top of my head) is a pretty good example of how the rhythm sounds... different...
I don't know. It makes music less boring. Somehow.
