To answer myself:

"iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store."

However, Apple also says that no error message is given for songs it doesn't find so why am I getting these messages?

The Beatles and ad/dc aren't on itunes, so it doesn't know what the artwork is, so it wont find them

Also, if the title or artitst is not exactly the same (character for character) it won't find the cover artwork. One single tiny little difference, like punctuation or paranthesis or other stupid little things like that will be enough to get the "Could not be find" message.
