I think the difference is that Summer of Love existed as a piece of music before even being brought to U2. It wasn't a riff that someone came up with during a U2 session, in trying to make a U2 song better (which is sort of what a producer is there for) - it was a part they came up with during a One Republic session, that Ryan Tedder brought to U2.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure that one studio scene in From The Sky Down basically confirms that Lanois came up with that main guitar part for One (although, he didn't come up with the basic music - the chord structure, etc.), U2 did that themselves.

Originally posted by drewhiggins:If it's songs like Summer Of Dull and American Empty Soul for a new album, it'll just be another U2 album. After all, surely they'll ask themselves some hard questions ... who needs a new U2 album. The only songs I can see Tedder has contributed in some way to that seem to be decent are The Lights Of Home, Every Breaking Wave, Iris and Landlady (but I wonder just how much input he really had into these).
Instead, get that Andy Barlow character in - surely U2 can see this. He seemed to bring out the best in what they've left to give. Imagine an album of Book Of Your Heart and The Little Thing ... -esque songs. You'd have a beautiful piece of work to hopefully go out on. If SoE was their last album (thankfully not), it's not a great album to go out on (how many songs on it are honestly any good - I can count six I think are worth something) - you'd be better going out on SoI (where 10 out of 11 songs are worthwhile).

most bands would love the chance to work with Chris Thomas,Rick Rubin or Danger Mouse but each of them were shafted as the band weren't happy with the results.

To be fair, they have worked their tails off to afford that luxury.
Originally posted by podiumboy:I mean, whose to say that when they were writing a song from the JT, Daniel or Brian didn’t say “here’s a riff I’ve had sitting around tha I think would work here.” I wouldn’t put too much thought into the Summer of Love debacle.
