I get a kick out of when 'purests' make these claims. They have used sequencers, drum machines and loops since their 4th album - 26 or their 30 years of existence.
Going back to 1984...
"Bad" has sequences
"A Sort of Homecoming" has sequences.
"The Unforgettable Fire" has sequences.
"MLK" has sequences.
Starting in 1987...
"Where The Streets Have No Name" has sequences.
"With Or Without You" has sequences.
"One Tree Hill" - sequences.
"Mothers of the Disappeared" has sequences.
Starting in 1989...
"Hawkmoon 269" - sequences.
"God Part II" - sequences.
"Desire" - sequences (the clapping rhythm track)
And as for MORE than one person...Danny and Brian Eno have played on the albums dating back to 1984 - The Unforgettable Fire.
And BB King was on stage for "When Love Comes To Town" during the Love Town tour - 1989-1990.
So with all due respect, I don't think your arguement holds much water on this one.
