I grew up listening to the Beastie boys, do you like them?
Yes, they were a hip hop group from New York City, started in 1981.
I didn't realize they were that old. Do you know much else about them?
Yes, they released their debut album "Licensed to Ill" in 1985 which launched their popularity, having multiple hit singles.
Wow, I thought they had come out with that album in the 90s not the 80s. 
They had 7 platinum or better albums between 1986 and 2004. They achieved worldwide fame.
